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

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

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).

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.

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

I punch Radio Shack employees every time they ask for my telephone number.

It was all a misunderstanding. The customer just wanted his “Battery of the Month” card punched.

Something tells me that Knol does not have a future in customer service.

I don't shop at Radio Schlock anymore.

I hate their policy of asking for address and phone number. Usually, the staff is no great shakes either.

Wow! Radio Shack surely has a restrictive and severe return policy.
