Radio Shack is dead. Coming back to life!!!!

RS filed for bankrupcy. Years of mismanagement, high prices and online competition killed a great company.

Let's hear those RS stories. I like to use spoilers to keep the OP short

My time working as RS

Radio Shack is my go-to place for earbuds. They have the best selection within walking distance of me, so I'm glad that my nearby Denver store appears to be surviving.

They really did have that nice RC Car sector of the store. They had some decent builds, i mean - the best???? no. But good enough - especially being it was near House of Hooch on 7hwy - which was about 2 blocks from the Gummo-type neighborhood I grew up in. In Blue Springs of course.

Heh I'm not surprised at this. I was considering going to work for them as a regional manager 6 years ago and flew into Dallas for a final interview. I sat down with all their top brass and asked a lot of questions I didn't like the answers to.

I turned them down on the spot, jumped a cab to the airport and caught an early flight out of there. When I got home I told my wife that the company was run by a bunch of outdated cavemen with no vision of the future and that they wouldn't be around long if they didn't change their business model. To be honest I'm surprised it took this long for them to go under.

You know - if you're young enough and there is a store left - you should buy a car or something w/ the Radio Shack emblem on it. May actually be worth some money one day.

That and the pricing of full electronic devices is so cheap now... back in the day it actually was fiscally beneficial to repair something... In today's climate, you just throw the device out and buy a new one.

Edit: And we are a lazy society overall, as well.
