That's true enough. I've had mine a month, adn have made 2 sixty
second calls to my wife about something in that time. Generally, I
forget I even have it with me. But some people seem to get outright
*addicted* to the things.

I'm currently working in retail, and in the last four months I have
seen two sales clerks where I work fired for talking to a friend on
their cell phone *while ringing up a customer order*. What is wrong
with these people??

It there anybody out there who DOES NOT have a cell phone?

All the sales person cares about is his "Spiff". Radio shack pays minimum
wage plus a "Spiff" determined by how much you sell in a 8 hour period. It's
averaged, so if you sell a high ticket item in the morning and nothing the
rest of the day..you get minimum wage for the day. This is why they sell you
ANYTHING they can get away with..gotta keep that "Spiff" going.
And they say "WAL*MART" is bad....yeah right....Eddie

When did Radio Shack decide to cater to criminals ?

Radio Shack on Union Tpke New Hyde park (Long Island)
Unattended cash register, line backed up, rap music blasting
1 employee arguing with a shady looking cell phone customer, 2 remaining
employees going over cell plans with gang banger trash .
Waited 10 minutes and had to walk out before my parking meter expired
I was willing to leave 2 dollars to walk with a set of .99 cent pack of
slug
tweakers (they can keep the change), they said no.
I said a couple choice words and walked out

I'm an old guy on my last legs. I carry one -- turned off -- when I'm on the
road. Ham and CB for emergency use are worthless these days.

I only turn it on when I'm rendezvousing with one of my kids, or when I'm
online so they can catch me in an emergency. Else we call each other during one
of the four periods a day I keep my landline free.
