You're not going to get much sympathy using an observation like like
that as a criticism.
Just because you hear an accent in the background doesn't mean the
people with that accent operate the business. They could be (and
probably are) employees. In fact, every company of any size has some
employees with Mexican accents.
And what's wrong with Mexicans operating the business anyway? As far
as it goes, newly-arrived Mexicans are more honest than regular
Americans.

When did "The Mexican" take over?
In the past year, or so, I've seen some of their policies
(e.g., return) actually improve.

Of course, your statement is true, but by being so cautious, you've
diluted the import to almost nothing. I'm making a general statement
about the honesty of Mexicans. Your typical Mexican coming from Mexico
is more honest than your typical American. I say this even after being
seriously ripped-off by some Mexicans http://groups.google.com/group/misc....f5638ccdbec579
.. Some of them are barbaric, particularly in their treatment of
animals.

Carlos Slim Helu, (currently the 3rd richest man on the planet Earth with
an esimated worth of $49 Billion,just a few bucks shy of Bill Gates and
Warren Buffet's $56 and $52 bil, respectively) bought CompUSA in 2000.
(I believe his son is currently in charge of day-to-day operations.)
Helu owns the Mexican telecom giant Telmex, and held a pretty large stake
in MCI until he sold it off a few years ago, IIRC.
Not too shabby for a Mexican, huh? (Sarcasm obviously not pointed at
you, Notan, but at the earlier bigoted comments.)

When you think of how the computer retail business has taken a beating
since the computer has become a commodity available at Walmart and K-Mart-
type stores, the fact that CompUSA still exists with 120+ stores staying
open is pretty incredible- who's their closest computer-only competitor?
Microcenter and their fifteen or so stores?

It has nothing to do with the race of the owner, but CompUSA has done
very poorly. In any area with any competition, they lose. If there's a
nearby MicroCenter, CompUSA closes. If there's a nearby Fry's, CompUSA
closes. I've been to a very busy CompUSA in San Bruno, where there are
no other computer stores in the vicinity. That store is not closing, but
all the stores in San Jose/Silicon Valley will close.

It could be worse Compusa could be run like Pemex.

Well, Slim owned CompUSA and The Good Guys back in late 2004... I
worked at a CompUSA store for a short time back then, and he'd already
bought the company.

My guess is that CompUSA positions themselves as a computer "convenience"
store, rather than a big-discounter like Fry's or Microcenter, both of
whom have a very small number of stores compared to CUSA.
Sure, they're closing over 100 stores, but that still leaves them with
more than their competition. CompUSA wouldn't be the first retailer that
discovered they grew too quickly and oversaturated some of their markets.
I find them opposite. They don't say "Excuse-me" They jumped in front of
people, and they are here to occupy with no respect. Take your Hispanic
view else where.

Honesty and politeness in a queue are different things. But that's not
a valid criticism either. Mexicans aren't impolite - not in general.
If you got bumped in line by a Mexican, I agree, that's a breach of
etiquette, but you can't indite a whole group over an individual
incident.
Now, regarding taking my views elsewhere. This is a newsgroup,
actually you crossposted to several newsgroups, and *you're* the one
to open the topic of race. So if you wanted the subject to be
discussed elsewhere, you shouldn't have begun it here.

For cutting in line is not classified as Politeness, it is "taking advantage
of". Why do I need to waste my time reasing your post?
