The 1980s called: they want their store back.
The stockholders called — they want their cash back.
Radio Shack is toast.
Just the thought of stepping into a Radio Shack is depressing!
RS screwed themselves when they switched from being an electronics store to another average cellphone centered store.
I decided I didn’t need to shop at Radio Shack anymore when I went into a store and asked for a capacitor and the kid working there looked at me like I had three heads.
Voted one of the worse places to work.
Last time I was in one the people seemed like they worked in a Soviet era store.
Never went back.
I like RS. I have a couple of them nearby. Sorry some of you hate them. Oh well. Times are a changing for the worse. :(
What do they sell that I would want that I could not get cheaper somewhere else?
Maybe the execs at that Company should ask themselves that question. I'm betting that the execs at Radio Shack themselves haven't bought anything in the last 10 years that Radio Shack sells.
Cellphone Shack. They stopped being a goto (pun intended)electronics and radio store years ago.
I haven’t been in a Radio Shack in at least 8 years. The employees at that time were useless and it was easier to get what I needed (not a cell phone contract) online.
They still exist?
I go into our local store when I need some odd electronic connector or component. I’d never buy a regular “consumer” product in there and much of their stuff is way over priced.
Pre-ebay and easy internet ordering they had a purpose. I get far more now from Jameco, Digikey, Mouser and ebay than I ever will from “The Shack.”
honestly, I am shocked they have lasted this long. They carry nothing but overpriced junk.
The only thing I really ever need from them is a small spare part every few years
RadioShack is going the way Heath Kit did because most people are to stupid to build anything electronic they rather play with a cell phone.
Pinging the list, (as a FYI).
We have a wonderful local Radio Shack that also sells old reconditioned stereo equipment and records. Love them
I’ll give you Radio Slack’s problem in a one-liner: $17.00 for a USB charger cable when I can get one at the gas station for $8.00 or $3.00 on Amazon.
