Default The Store Once Know as 'RadioShack' : Would Like You To Call It "The Shack"

Good riddance.

Tandy ruined the once proud term "radio shack" by naming their chain of
stores selling
trinkets and low-quality consumer junk after the 70s. When RS was a real
electronics
store based in Boston they were great but that was in the 50s and 60s. Tandy
really ruined it.

Since then I have done most anything to avoid going in one. The clerks are
imbeciles.
The products, inferior. Anything you ask them for is met with a dumbfounded
look.
They'd be better suited to wearing vests and greeting customers with
"welcome to Radio Shack...
would you like to try a bloomin' onion or start out with an appetizer?"

Maybe the bruised term "radio shack" can now begin its healing process and
be used again
with a semblance of respect.
