Default Radio Shack Sucks

I haven't been to Radio Shack in many years but it's now my opinion that they suck, or at least the one by my house does. I needed some solder, wire and wire connectors and they barely had anything. If I wanted a cell phone or a TV they could have hooked me up but I didn't. Plus I had to wait in line almost 30 minutes because everyone was filling out cell phone contracts.

After Radio Shack I went to Lowes, it was empty and I got everything I needed from there in under 10 minutes.

Went to Radio Shack about a month ago to buy a soldering iron and all that gear was right down the back of the store. Had it not been for the Salesman asking what I was looking for I would have left MT handed. I bought wire and connectors and solder also.
Honestly I thought they must have changed from an electronics store to a phone store at some stage. The salesman said if I want to repair electronic equipment they would be able to order in what I wanted and have it the same day. I was like man but seriously

Dont let them get to you eh.
Have a great day.

Ummmm, I don't understand why you just didn't go to Lowe's to begin with and save yourself the headache.

Typical Canadian logic.

If you own a C4, you would know that Radio SHack is priceless.

If you own a C3 they are almost your favourite store. Big soldering irons, small soldering irons and inbetween sized soldering irons too. Its just that they need to order everything in. Crikey its tough here some times.
Lowes is closer to me also. (Aladdins magic cave )

I dated a Canadian for a while and I know for a fact that Canadian logic is exactly the same as Army intelligence.......except different.
