Who here hates Radio Shack, and thinks they have horrible products and pushy sales people?
I can't stand this company they have cheated many people with thier return policy, lied to sell you phones, and price gouge by not price matching other companies, and finally all their stuff breaks and is soooo cheap it's a joke. On top of using the lowest bidder from 3rd world countries, they have the worst customer service philosophy, i have ever seen in my life.

PS
I know this cause I was an employee

I too was recently laid off, let me tell you half the stuff I sold was broken, the scanners never worked right, our phones always had problems, especially the batteries caus emost of refurbed from other stores returning them to the manufactor and we would get these phones at cheaper prices. Also our cables are over priced, it only costs the store 48 cents for a pack of 4 AA batteries and you pay 4 dollars. About 3 radios i sold were unopened and had missing parts or were defective, the toys always broke, our RC cars break after a week. Also our service plans don't cover breakage, they are a SCAM, don't get them. we no longer sell speakers and the computer ones we sell usually blow after 5 months, thank god cause they are generic no name things that suck. metal detectors are on the fritz and always going off. I have had professionals say our multi meters are not that accurate after working for 5 minutes. the tools are a joke, oh my god they stick when you try and open pliers, the scredrivers strip and everythign has that I am going ot break cause i am made of plastic feel. I set up a thermometer out of the box last summer and it didn't work either. All the dvd players are axions, a no name company, again and oh boy those got returned mighty fast, before oyu buy one, feel how weak the plastic casing is and the cover that closes on a cd, extreamly fragile. you put it down too hard you and break it. The xmods are over priced too and usually break he steering gear, none of our planes fly, like holy crap you take it out of the box charge it up and press forward onthe control it barely gets off the ground, then immediately nose dives and breaks the propeller, i saw this happen in the parking lot!! And finally our batteries completely suck, they have almost no charge in them, our most powerful echargables are 2000ma best buy has them cheaper and there's are 2400 to 2500ma, much more power per charge. and our alkalines die out after 3 hours of use in a flash light, we tested this over and over again.

I think the only good thing they sell is sirrius radio, but that is made by surrius who cares about thier radios.

Anyways this is the honest truth I worked there for a year and 6 months, all of these things happened in that span of working there and I never saw improvements on our quality issues, NEVER! Radio Shack wants your money and once they have it, never let it go and don't care about you.


easter bunny!
I am right here with ya dude. Everytime I am forced to go in there I end up getting yelled at by an overweight employee for absolutly nothing at all. Once I bought a radio thing from there...it broke in less than 4 days. It's true. They sell crap at horrible prices. I swear I'll never go in there again. Ugh...it gives me the chills just thinking about it.

Tell me more and I'll hate them with a passion.

Yes, in general they have a variety of modestly useful products sold by pushy and poorly educated sales people. That's why the company has gone nowhere in the recent years.


walkerfountain
I do, it is pretty insane how unfair and pushy they are, like you can't trust them I was there once buying a cell phone and they said to me "a more expensive model is usually much better" wow! I hate it


Josh
Not me. Rarely go.


julwortham
It's the salespeople that annoy the crap out of me. I never go there anymore.

Jro
Well if anyone should know it would be you!Find a company you like and leave there!


kristy
Radio Shack is a joke! I cant believe they still exist. The prices do suck and so does the service! I bet they only have a year or two left before they close, at least I hope so!

They are usually consistent and the employees knowledgeable. They have evolved into something different than the Radio Shack of long ago. I have had some annoying clerks riding my back and even one rude old clerk. One rude one isn't a bad track record but I really don't like most of their products except the scanners and electronic parts. They do help you to find stuff and I personally have never had a problem getting refunds. They have interesting stuff sometimes as I am a gadget man. I would not buy a stereo or television there. It has declined in the fact that they don't sell what I want but the market is to blame for the changes. Radio Shack used to be for people who do it yourself and work on stuff or build things and it is fading away from that because people are not interested in that stuff. They do kind of ride you back with pushy sales people suggesting stupid stuff. So does Best Buy, Circuit City etc. The stupid suggestions reveal themselves to the customer eventually.
