ncase1989 said: My wife and I both work in the medical field primarily with covid patients. So we do not go into stores usually a friend or family member will pick us up to things if we need them. This was my plan to get my own RTX 3070 GPU reserve a unit online and have a family member pick it up for me. However, highly desired items require in-person purchasing. This makes me sick to my stomach and will never shop there again as they are completely void of others well being. This is the first experience with mricocenter that has been sick and twisted, to be frank, this usually great store requires in-person ONLY purchasing of high price items. Which, is a shame as we work so hard and are home board out of our minds while kids buy these GPUs and sell them on eBay for twice the retail price. I attempted to call and explain my situation but was hung up on as the store was so busy with people rushing to get their hands on these new video cards. Thanks, microcenter for the support of the people that are putting our lives on the line during this pandemic. I hope this company continues to thrive and those extra purchases that are produced by forcing potentially extremely contagious people into their stores. Truly a shame..

Also, thank you for the lack of effort to resolve my frustration. I will still no longer shop at Micro Center.

This company practices during a Or people are dying on a daily basis because someone had to I have the latest product. I truly hope your policy changes for the better and your company can grow in a manner that doesn’t put people in harms way and allows them to acquire the items they desire.Considering I thoroughly enjoyed that store but as a human being that continues to try to improve our society and contribute in a manner that allows advancement. I will never step foot in the Micro Center ever again.Thank you for the years of great service!

Butcanitruncrysis said: Hey all. So is waiting in line during the morning with fingers crossed the only strategy here? I'm a couple hours from the nearest Micro Center but I've been trying for months to get a 3080 from EVGA or Asus. No luck with online waitlists. I'm desperate but not able to stop by every day of the week. Is there a certain day when my odds would be best? I'm nearest to the North Jersey store. Thanks.

TimothyPE said: Just curious on this video cards fetishism...1. How many games are still sitting in Steam library and did you finish playing them all? Even Cyberpunk 2077 releases on time, nobody have to play it in 2020.2. Does everyone have 4K monitor 144hz that requires RTX 3080, 3090? Any Strategy or RPG game looks nice on $200 2K 60hz display.3. You may spend $1099 to get the $699 RTX 3080, or you may spent that extra $400 for a Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, Oculus 2, enjoy it for several months and then purchase a video card at regular price.

You may not have noticed that every PC enthusiast in the world is trying to get the new CPUs and GPUs right now, but they are, including many people with important jobs. You are not special. You are entitled, rude, and out of line taking it out on an employee of the forum, who has no ability to help you, even if they for some reason wanted to after the way you spoke to them. I finally got my 5900X at Micro Center on Wednesday by investing some time into it. Something you’ll have to do if you want one any time soon. I went and got some lunch and waited from the safety of my vehicle to see if they would get a UPS or Fedex delivery. Sure enough, UPS pulled up, I went inside, and a while later walked out with the CPU I wanted. I didn’t even have to shamelessly drop what I do for a living or be rude to employees to get it. Amazing. Best of luck to you, but kindly get out of here with your entitled attacks. Well said!

Hello @ncase1989 Sorry to hear about your experience shopping with us. However, we have put several procedures in place to create a safe shopping environment. For more information about the steps we've taken click here. These items are limited to one per household due to the high demand. This is also done in an effort to keep those who would be looking to resell the items restricted from being able to purchase multiple items. Once we start to receive more stock of this item I would expect that they would become available for in-store reservation. However, it would still require coming to the store to purchase the item. I see that you posted on another discussion and another of our moderators responded there as well. Thank you for sharing this feedback with us.
