I always liked having to give them my name, address, and phone number to buy a battery.

I never give it to 'em. It's funny to watch what those kids do when they ask for your phone and you say "Why do you need that?" and they say "just for our sales info", and then I say "you don't need that", and they leave me alone... Try it, it's a kick.

I was in RS the other day and had an obviously new teenage clerk. He asked for my phone number and I told him it was unlisted. He stared at the register screen forever. Finally, he called over another clerk. They just get stumped when you refuse.

My ONLY reason to go to radio shack is to buy components, wire, radio parts, etc. If they stop selling the stuff they will never see me again.
