Didn't you hear? Radio Shack is now Cell phone shack.

I agree, I'm disabled (in a wheelchair- amputee 1 leg and legally
blind)
I wanted a small casette recorder to tape some SW broadcasts on tie
delay so I logged onto RS webpage and found a few that said my local
RS had
5 or 6 different models in stock. So I took the $10 cab ride there
and got into the "Store" tried to call before but they keep the phone
off the hook most of the time. There was one clerk the with a customer
and the ailes were cluttered with cartons, so I had to wait, the jerk
just kept talking to the other customer and finallythe customer left
WITHOUT a phone, the clerk just left and went into the back . He
wasgone 10 minutes and came out and said, "I'm
a cell phone specialist so if you need anything else, come back later"
I pointed to the tape recorder and he told me "I guess you dont
undertand English", thats not a cellphone!!

I left and waited another 1/2 hour and another $10 to get back home.
I called 1800 theshack and was given a phone number to an "area
supervisor".
Tghe woman there was very nice and pleasant but said the the
supervisor is on "personal leave" for 3 weeks and normally won't speak
to customers as he is more of a "trainer". I called back the 800 numer
and was offered a $10 discount if I went back to the store and
purchased a cellphone!!! I gave up and
wrote a letter to the ADA Commision which I received a form letter
with a stack of forms, riduculous.
