I dunno about you, but I think to work at Radio Shack you mast to have to prequalify by being a nutcase. There are three in our area and I dread it every time I have to go in for an electronic part. One has to interject politics into every sentence, the other hasnt washed in weeks, etc.
I make a point to bring cash, and still have to turn down a jillion questions as whether I want to buy/sign up/whatever
They dont ask for telnos any more (around here), but for years whenever they would ask for mine I would give them the local police telno.
But if you need some electronic parts on a Sunday afternoon, they will have them,
I think you meant to reply to someone else, mate.
