The only times I’ve ever had to go into a Radio Shack in the past 15 years, I WISH they would have done that...everything I needed was behind the counter or in a display case; cordless phone batteries, universal plug and tip when a wallwart shattered, etc. Everything else is so overpriced it’s cheaper to get it at Walmart or the dollar store, and usually works just as well.
The last time I went to Radio Shack was to get small fuse for my garage door opener. The clerk pointed me toward a stand with about 30 drawers and said “I know there’s one in there if you can find it.” I found it.
But I don’t understand how they can stay in business selling fuses. I’ll bet the cost of paper receipts on most of their purchases cost more than the item being purchased.
