For anyone who’s ever worked retail, the man is a hero.

He’s a hero for beating the snot out of a customer who wanted to do a return?

That’ll teach that customer to refuse to provide his address when buying batteries!

Sunday night? So presumably the store was already closed - was that the problem?

LOL—I gave my address to Radio Shack as 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in DC. The clerk didn’t even blink.

M: No.
H: Now..
M: Waaaaah!!!

M: Yes!
H: Why did you come in here then?

Some clerks who can’t do the simplest of things like summon the manager need a beat down.

It’s safe to assume there’s more to the story. And I’m jesting, people . . . lighten up.

There has been more than once that I wanted to punch out a Tandy employee, who really deserved it. I finally stopped shopping there (in two different states).

Some customers just need a beat-down.Don't know all the facts here, but you're certainly right. Sometimes, a customer just needs a good beat-down.

I worked for Radio Shack while I was in grad school. There were some products that I was happy to permit my fellow salesman to sell. I knew they were coming back. Some items were just poor quality. In spite of those "charitable" acts, I was consistently #1 or #2 salesman in San Diego county. Big deal. The seasonal variation in commissions made it only slightly better than a minimum wage retail job.
I don't think we got the whole story. Resorting to fisticuffs over a merchandise return doesn't make sense. I suspect the customer did some major damage to the goods that made them unfit for resale.

This would be the first effective battery that ever came out of a Radio Shack.

Back when I was younger you could go in and talk to the salesmen and they could actually give you good advice after putting down their soldering gun. Usually someone was in the rear testing some vacuum tubes they had brought from home. They should change the motto to “Radio Shack....you got questions? We got questions”!

Radio Shack? Oh yes, the customer paid for the batteries but wouldn’t give his telephone number!
