CD/Rob: You ain't never read a fic like mine. :3

That's what I'm counting on.

The best way to describe an Aldjthaam's is that it's half Apple Store, and half warehouse. There's a set of desks out in the front section of the store- each one liberally covered in computers of all sorts, from desktops to wristcomps. Behind that is a set of registers, spanning the width of the store. Most of the product is kept behind the registers- when you buy something, your cashier walks back into the shelves to find and retrieve your purchases.

You don't see stores like that very often any more, in any specialty... but I rather like the style. (There's a hand-tool, garden-equipment, and hardware store in Ottawa like that, and they've received a fair amount of my money - mainly because they sell top-quality goods at reasonable prices. They have http://leevalley.com/]a website, but the experience isn't the same.) I'll bet story-you spent a fair chunk of that day just browsing the store.
