Default Radio Shack

When they talk about Radio Shack changing for the worst, they aren't
kidding. Yesterday I went there to pick up some hookup wire. I've
purchased it there many times before, and for as long as I remember it
sat in the same place in one corner of the store. However, yesterday it
was gone. An employee asked if he could help me and I explained what I
was looking for. He had no clue what I was talking about, and kept
gesturing vaguely in the direction of some power cables. (I guess he
was hoping he'd luck out and point at the right item without even
knowing what it is, but no luck.) Eventually he got his manager. I
talked to the manager and explained what I was doing, and the manager
also had no clue what I was talking about. Not only was the hookup wire
gone, no one even remembered its ever being there. I felt like I was in
the Twilight Zone or something.
