Here in St. Joseph we call them the trash shack or the
outhouse, because
they are usually out of what you want.
Ha! Try Fry's... The one here in Oregon
is terrible. Since the day
they opened, they have NEVER fully stocked the electronic components!
They work damned hard to make sure they have enough TVs and stereos,
but screw the nerds... And of course, the items I need are always the
missing ones.
I don't mind Radio Shack all that much, but I'd rather order through
a catalog were I can get things for half the price(most of the time).
Still hasn't stopped me from spending WAY too much there :-) And you
have to admit that it's nice having stores all over the place that
sell scanners. Just stay away from the ham radio equipment(the HTX-10
and mobile 2m are OK, but avoid the handhelds radios at all costs!
inferior and WAY overpriced).
