In big box stores... I needed a small part a few days ago and don't think I'd been in a Fry's Electronics for several years. It was downright disturbing how barren the place felt. There were maybe a dozen cars in the parking lot and 3 people on the 40+ checkout registers. I remember that place being full up and busy to the hilt. Now 1/3+ of the shelves are empty and it's clearly past its' best days.

The electronics area is completely stripped out, and the computer components area is staffed by kids who frankly don't know much of anything. It's really sad as I do have some fond memories of the place.

A mall nearby is about to be torn down, converting an indoor mall into an outdoor mall, which the more busy malls in the Phoenix area are. If movie theaters weren't largely in malls, I wouldn't even notice.
