Cross-posting from https://swling.com/blog/2020/11/radioshack-has-a-new-owner-who-wants-to-make-it-cool-again/ ....

Radio Shack was not classic “Radio Shack” over 20 years ago; less long today. o.0

I was there as a part-timer for a few months around circa 1999 or 2000 to witness the change from niche strip-mall electronics shop to cell phone vendor. Depressing. Worst yet, salespeople apparently were making too much on cell sales and bonuses in certain markets, so the execs even started cutting into that pay model. Made it even more depressing for the frontline sales associates IMO.

Radio Shack! You've got questions? So do we!

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
