I can remember when Radio Shack had good employees. They sent out a great
woman who helped my parents use their first computer. They had bought it,
opened it, and set it up, but didn't turn it on for a year. It was just
about two years ago that I was talking to an employee farmiliar with
diode-transistor logic. He was replaced with the typical idiot. You would
think the employees less than 10 miles from their corporate headquarters
could be good.

1. You learn that the Radio Shack slogan, "you've got questions, we've got
answers"' is true. They have answers alright, it just may not be the right
ones!
2. The people that work there think you are trying to contact someone from
Mars or outer space, with all the cables, adapters, connectors, etc., that
you buy there every week.
3. You think of opening your own store, because with a name like Radio
Shack, they ought to sell lots and lots of amateur radio equipment.
4. You know your way around the store better than the employees that work
there.
5. You spend so much time and money driving there, you think of buying one
of everything.
6. The people who work there think you own one heck of a radio station, (in
a way it might be a little truth to that), or you're trying to build a bomb.
7. You realize you know more about electronics and computers than they do.
8. You spend more money in a week at Radio Shack than you do on food.
9. You know everyone who works there by their first name.
10. You have your own private parking spot there.
11. When they call you for a stocking item because they are out.
