radio shack was one of the last places where you could buy transistors, resistors and anything else electrical/circuit based. admittedly the selection dwindle throughout the years but you always had the 25 to 50 draws and could count on it in any city you traveled to. tons of tiny bits to fix that charger/ hackbox or any receiver setup, really.. This will be a loss to many enthusiasts
- enthusiasts? to many who are still stuck in 1979 tech.. oi Radio Shack cool back in those days.. but now?e-pill
- enthusiasts, people that make stuff with a soldering iron are losing a store front.i guess order online now.plash

A shack full of shit, is what they should rename it...

I mean "The Shack" sounds like a burger joint that bad child tv actors hang out at...
But then again, I never shop at Radio Shack anyway because their sales help is generally clueless and rude and they have enormous stocks of badly made cheap indonesian electronics. I just called it "Radio Suck"..now I guess it'll just be "The Suck".

I went in to a "The Shack" a while back and the clerk was soooo stupid I had to walk out. I was trying to find some LEDs and he had no idea what I was talking about. Then when looking for a power supply he proceeded to "test" several phone chargers and AC plugs on the LED by placing, with BARE hands, the leads onto the live plugs (no resistors either). I couldn't believe this guy. Luckily he didn't fry himself.
My theory is the guys that work at "The Shack" and the guys that work at "U-Haul" are related. Both sets are geniuses.

haha yea i was very confused by this commercial so you just wanna be called "The Shack" but your not changing your signs... oooookay.
Didn't Pizza Hut wanna change to The Hut or something, reminds me of that, and it sounds more like a bodega, not a tech-savy place.

How is RadioShack even in business still. Doesn't everyone buy thier batteries and piece of crap remote controlled cars at Walmart now?

Maybe they should put that $200M toward getting some knowledgable staff, and not selling garbage... just a thought.

"The Shack" doesn't exactly scream tech-savy.

Has Shaq tweeted angrily about this?
