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

It's a typical story when you have people working on commission.

Each Radio Shack store has its own personality. Around here we have an
angry Radio Shack, a racist Radio Shack, a lazy Radio Shack...

Reply address munged. You can figure it out.

I only buy online from them anymore. I hate going into the stores.

Interesting, it's the same here. Usually a couple of dead beats checking out
the phones and they get the attention. They must be cheap or something? I
figure if you don't have a cell phone by now you don't need one?

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

I've never even /used/ one.

However, my wife has one and still even has the analog "bag phone" she has
had for many years.


And I even like the people at my local (Vicksburg, Mississippi US) RadioShack
store even though I tell them how bad the RadioShack website is (apparently,
they've mentioned it - once or 500 times) to their District Manager.

Never had a cell phone. I guess I'm lucky. I can get annoyed for free,
I don't need to pay for it.

Never had one, don't want one. That electromagnetic radiation is dangerous by yo

My wife has had one for years, which I applaud (a woman traveling
alone in a car a lot - a must-have). But I never had one or wanted one
until my wife grabbed me by the lapels and jerked me into the 21st
century at Christmas. She bought me the phone and a 2-year
subscription. I travel to work each day down I-94 in Berrien County, MI
(read: "out-of-nowhere" blinding snow squalls). She said she wanted a
phone in that car with the types of cirmcumstance I occasionally have to
drive through to and from work. Hard to argue her logic there.

On RatShack (and I think I mentioned this once before), there are two
in my area. One I stopped going into some time ago, because if you went
in for a pair of D cell batteries, the manager would immediately get you
in a half-Nelson to buy six things you wanted no part of - and he was
persistent! T'ell with that crap!
