Yeah, but what are they selling these days?

Microchips? Acid etch? discrete components? wire? or preassembled junk?

Believe it ir not, everything they've always carried....I went in to buy an MP3 Player...nope. cassette recorders there though.

I bought some plug adaptors for 1/8" and 1/4" instrument cables.

Still drawers full of electrical components. Great staff too.
 
Way back in the day, my high school physics teacher worked a double job at a local Radio Shack. He was kind of a walking stereo type, but he was actually a pretty cool dude.
 
I was a big fan of Radio Shack when I was a kid. I bought their electronic kits. My dad bought some audio gear. I even worked there for a couple years. My impression is that in the last decade (or more), they bent to Satan and went to cell phone sales.

Bernie and John were good CEOs but whoever followed them was a stupid piece of shit.
 
Do they still ask you for your phone number when you buy batteries?

Didn't buy batteries but don't we get asked that for any purchases today? At BLowes, they always ask you for a phone number. I ask in return, "why do you need my phone number?
Cashier: "Oh, in case you need to return something."
Me: "that's what the receipt is for."
Silence....
 
Radio shack invented that phone number thing as far as I can tell,. They were decades ahead .

Isn't that a jewish martial arts place next to RS?
