Anyone with the merest knowledge of DC Electrical Fundamentals can go
into about any Radio Shack company store and be in a position to
tech-slam the employees. Radio Shack has pursued a policy of not
hiring electronics people for decades, they have remained to the small
extent that they are in the electronic parts, tools, books, and 'test
equipment'for image purposes and I have been repeatedly told as much
by Radio Shack management.

Radio Shack is a cancer on the ass of all electronics hobbies and all
electronics professionals, what few remain.

They should be stripped of their image by persistently and
consistently reminding the technically less knowledgeable that "real
nerds won't set a foot in there". Radio Shack's death would be a good
thing IMO.


I don't understand this attitude towards RS at all. If you don't like it,
don't buy from them. You now have a zillion alternatives right through the
internet.

Then again, you may actually be the type of guy that walks into Best Buy or
Circuit City and actually relies on the snot-nosed salesperson knowing all
about TVs and giving you advice on which to buy. It's a self-serve world out
there now. If you want premium service, you'll have to pay extra for it and
buy from a smaller shop in which you can get help. But you'll pay more for
it.
