They should change the name now...
From Radio Shack to Radio Boutique.

No more bits and pieces, only fashionable electronics..

Went to Ratio Shaq to buy electronic parts to complete a project recently.
Had
to spend $6 for a set of resistors, as those formerly available $1 per
pair
offerings had mysteriously diminished. Told the clerk about how strange
that
seemed, along with no longer seeing boxes of woofers-n-tweeters for
speaker mod
projects. "Parts are no longer profitable for Tandy", he explained." We
make
our profits on cell phones and satellite dishes". Just remember that
scenario
next time a clerk, who is supposed to have answers, goes blank when you
inquire
about a shortwave-related subject.
