they’ve been stocking less and less “geek stuff” and more and more cell phones and shit like that… (at least at the one in Ross Park Mall).

I went into the one in McCandless and asked for something “to convert VGA/SVGA signal to RCA or coax” and the guys there had absolutely no clue what any of that meant.

:down:

i miss the good old days of old fat nerds working at Radio Shack… you know… those guys who were geeked over the Altair back in the day, who could MacGuyver together anything you needed.

that is soooooo totally the truth… these asswipes were all flustered trying to find a woman a belt clip for her nokia… they have all kinds of ‘displays’ with products and shit… meanwhile, the fuckers don’t even have terminal ends… i fucking asked for shrink wrap, he’s like here … hands me a package ($4.29) with assorted wraps… NONE 8 GAUGE… i was like wtf, it’s not even the size i asked, it’s every size BUT the size i asked… AND it’s an ‘assorment pack’

what happened to the uniform plastic trays with endless amounts of electronic shit??? fuck radio shack… :greddy: :down:
