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.
