Yes indeed. When I had our computer stores, I had huge anti static mats on the work benches with wrist straps to the mat. Never had an issue.

My company at the time had a high abnormal circuit card failure rate. Circuit cards were returned to the factory in Australia. They sent some boards to the university there and used a scanning electron microscope to determine failure. Static discharge was the culprit! Plus some boards were damaged in such a way that the boards would quit working after a short time. Well the company put together a 'Chinese style re-education anti-static seminar'. The amount of static that can destroy circuitry is below human perception So if you walk into a shop and do not see any anti-static straps- walk right out! Try Micro-Center.
