I love Radio Shack. I’m going there tonight to buy something, anything to help keep them out of bankruptcy. Everyone do the same. Save Radio Shack!
RS got rid of anything worth buying more than a decade ago.
Good riddance.
Time to stock up on lithium batteries for my optics!
And I'll toast to its long overdue demise. I often wondered what kind of corporate shennanigans and political donations were necessary to keep RS afloat. Smug clerks demanding personal info as if the cash register wouldn't operate without giving my name address and phone number.
It wasn't just one store. It was a few, in different states, over a couple decades. In the rare event I was desperate enough to see if Radio Shaft carried an odd item, it was the same creepy a$$ cloned clerk pulling the same stunt.
How's that mailing list trolling working out for you now, you arrogant pushy pimple-faced worms? Buh-bye!
I used to love going to RS when I was a kid....but things have changed. I really can’t find half the stuff I want. But the worst part is: I can’t stand there and browse. In my mind I’m trying to figure out a workaround for the part I can’t find...and the clerk won’t let me, just asking repeated questiins while I’m trying to think. And frankly, the clerks don’t know anything. They haven’t for a long time.
There main purpose seems to be cell phones now. I bought my daughter’s phone there - as we’re waiting for one clerk to set it up, the other one notices my phone...and is quite forward, asking me if I had a contract on it etc...trying to make another sale. Anyway, it took them around twenty minutes to set up the phone, and I remember staring around at the toys and other electronics - and realizing I had no interest in any of it.
I’m surprised they lasted this long.
nope.
they absolutely suck now. can’t get any parts i need, they just push phones and toys and crap’gadgets. the only store left nr me is run by two young black girls who blare hip-hop loud ll over the store.
deserves chapter 11.
