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 agree, I'm disabled (in a wheelchair- amputee 1 leg and legally
blind)
I wanted a small casette recorder to tape some SW broadcasts on tie
delay so I logged onto RS webpage and found a few that said my local
RS had
5 or 6 different models in stock. So I took the $10 cab ride there
and got into the "Store" tried to call before but they keep the phone
off the hook most of the time. There was one clerk the with a customer
and the ailes were cluttered with cartons, so I had to wait, the jerk
just kept talking to the other customer and finallythe customer left
WITHOUT a phone, the clerk just left and went into the back . He
wasgone 10 minutes and came out and said, "I'm
a cell phone specialist so if you need anything else, come back later"
I pointed to the tape recorder and he told me "I guess you dont
undertand English", thats not a cellphone!!

I left and waited another 1/2 hour and another $10 to get back home.
I called 1800 theshack and was given a phone number to an "area
supervisor".
Tghe woman there was very nice and pleasant but said the the
supervisor is on "personal leave" for 3 weeks and normally won't speak
to customers as he is more of a "trainer". I called back the 800 numer
and was offered a $10 discount if I went back to the store and
purchased a cellphone!!! I gave up and
wrote a letter to the ADA Commision which I received a form letter
with a stack of forms, riduculous.

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...

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?

[chuckle]

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.
