Root Radio Shack is clown shoes!

Fair enough. I suppose I just had enough of a bad experience with Radio Shack here to severely skew my opinion of the whole organization.
 
Gold is found in the dirt, but there is so little of it, we end up with the dirt on our hands most of the time. The closet Radio Shack to me is staffed with the dirt, and I have actually complained to their corporate office (one of only two complaints to corporate offices I've made in my entire life, and to the Shack's credit, they admitted they have issues with that location). I would drive to one farther away, but then the <$5 purchase gets jacked up by fuel costs. When you go to a Shack, you expect to have at least somewhat technologically competent staff to help you. Not at the store nearest me. A simple adapter is beyond their comprehension unless it comes packaged in a clamshell with written instructions and compatibilities. I find myself going to their drawers and rummaging around till I find what I need, and when they ask if I need help, I do my best not to smile at them ironically. ;)
 
The real irony is my wife's ex-husband was a manager there for 10 years. He still couldn't keep his computer virus free. I know I shouldn't take pleasure in the misfortune others, but still...
 
they made me buy time and let them activate it first. But at the time EVERYONE was sold out and they had one left even virgin was sold out.

Same here. Wish I'd just waited for VM to get them back in stock. That put me off ever buying another phone from a person who gets paid on commission.
