describing what I'm looking for, I look at the salesman's face, and realize
that he has no clue what I'm talking about. So I guess when you walk into a
RadioShack store, and someone asks if they can help you, and you tell them
no, you're being quite literal - They *can't* help you.
Here in the UK we called them Tandy:- notice the tense used, for Tandy went
bust - even though here you could have been legitimately offered 'chips with
that...'
