Back in the '70 you had to demoinstrate knoweledge of electronics before you could be hired; not an expert, but at least understand what the customer was looking for. I worked for them until '79. Their new slogan is "you got questions, we got insults."

You've got questions? So do we! ;-)

You've got questions? Come back when you have the answers! ;-)

You've got questions? Go ask someone with an IQ higher than 70! ;-)

You've got questions? What do you expect from us. Answers? ;-)

You've got questions? Go away, I'm trying to sell a cell phone! ;-)

You've got questions? Don't we all? ;-)


Anyone have any more good ones?

You've got questions? We've got answers. Hell NO I don't know if they are
correct.

I doubt that requiring applicants to demonstrate knowledge of electronics
would work anymore. I believe that most Radio Shacks start people at minimum
wage plus commisions on cell phones, extended warranties, etc., so when that's
the 'deal' you're looking at, a would-be employee can do just as well working
at many other stores that don't require any particular knowledge of what it
is, exactly, that the store is selling.

Personally, I think you could run many stores with, say, 2/3 the people and
pay them 3/2 as much as normal and thereby demand some actual skills and
retain them (and work 3/2 as hard!), but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be
the standard business strategy these days.
