The only thing I've bought from Ritz was a nice little Canon camera bag (which I FINALLY sold to buda 
) and some SunPak 2650 rechargeable batteries for my flash... Seriously, the people at Ritz (the couple of stores that I've been to) are ignorant and never have anything worth listening to!
IE: I asked one of them a simple question in regards to my flash (580ex2) and the guy's reply was "WOW, I wish I had that flash... Umm... I dont know too much about it but I can get the user manual out for it!!! ~> Let me see if anyone else knows anything about it!" He comes back: "Sorry, no-one knows anything about it but if you have any other questions, feel free to come back!"
Another instance was when I went into the store inquiring if they had a Canon Camera Bag (Back-Pack style) and I ended up arguing with the idiot who worked behind the counter! ~> He told me that "I shouldnt get a Canon Bag b/c all I was doing was "advertising" for them! Plus... If it said Canon on the bag, then it was highly likely to get stolen if I were in an Airport..."
My reply was: Well, If I want a Canon Bag, then you should sell me a Canon Bag! ~> Dont sit here and tell me how "dumb" I am... If it gets stolen, it will give me a reason to step up to a bigger and better Canon!
Ritz's pricing SUCKS for equipment! Also, the knowledge that most of their employees has is inexistent!!! I would much rather take the drive to NTP (about 35-40 mins.) to get excellent customer service and talk to people that know whats going on!!!

I left with a 1gb SanDisk for ~$34 when the card that arrived a couple of days later was $31 shipped for 4gb. At least I got to play with a D300 I guess...

). Wolf was right up the street, so I drove over there and asked for a little 1G card. They also showed me only the Lexar. I asked if they carried SanDisk (as my main card is a SanDisk Extreme IV 4G) and they told me they only carried Lexar! I'm gonna go back to the same store and double check about that. Thanks for the story.Someone should start a rant thread about Ritz/Wolf.
