Radio Shack?

Everyone who ever entered a Radio Shack was followed around the store.

And enough people didn't come back that they went out of business.

Man, I miss radio shack when they actually had electronic components.

They sold out their base 😤

Yeah, they were great for that. Ever since they closed, I don't really have a local source for that kind of thing anymore.

If you went over to the components drawers they’d bolt though, they didn’t know how to answer any questions about that stuff and also knew you were too cheap to buy a cellphone (I’m talking the last 10 years of the store or so, when they tried to be sprint stores or Verizon or whatever).
