To me, Radio Shack was like Disneyland for audio and electronics geeks. In the 90's, when Radio Shack abandoned electronic enthusiasts for cell phone sales, Fry's Electronics kind of took over, but Fry's didn't offer as many raw components as RS and their staff was totally incompetent. I still remember those drawers of transistors, resistors, MOSFETs, caps, pots, and so on at Radio Shack. Back then, when I asked for 5 kOhm resistors with 5% tolerance I didn't get that "Bambi in the headlights" look from the guy at the counter. He even knew which drawer to open, and he recommended 1% tolerance resistors instead as they were only a few cents more expensive! Try and find this kind of knowledgeable service today. Bare speakers, receivers, cassette decks, EQs, and those legendary Mach 3 speakers. What great memories! So sad it's all gone. Man! I miss the 80's!

I am both a fan of Shack (since 1980) & Frys (since 1992, after taking over from Incredible Universe). Frys may not have had more different electronic parts than Shack but I think they had just enough of the fundamental stuff, like capacitors, resistors, & things like that. And a wider bigger variety of other more stuff than the Shack, since Frys stores were gigantic warehouses. I bought both electronic parts & electronic tools from both places. Now both stores are basically gone & you now basically have to buy all this stuff online. Shack is still around, but only as a website (& recently bought by a new group again) & really only a very few stores around the world. Each store did enjoy their time in their eras, with the Shack being first & the longest. At least the Shack made its century mark as a business, when most stores in history never make that mark. What's funny is that the Shack training video above also talks about their "blockbuster" advertising which reminds me of the now defunct Blockbuster Video, which I also used to be a fan of & of which I have since kept their ID card as a memento of those times. 04/19/24

This video is pre-1990, before they incorporated The Technology Store 'look'. That said, they mention CD or Compact Disc, in the beginning of the video, so that places the time frame in the late 1980's. I'd guess the video came out in 1986 or 87. Dry as the content may be, 'corporate' was pretty inflexible on their expectations, especially when it came to store presentation. Keep in-mind the timeframe in which this video was released predates the likes of Best Buy, Target, MediaPlay, Circuit City, etc... The Internet didn't exist as we know it, there was no Amazon or ebay. Sears, Kmart, JCPenny, Montgomery Wards, & Prange's were some of the main retailers of the day. Radio Shack in those days was very unique in the product lines that it carried. TV/Stereos, Computers, Phones, CB Radio/Scanners/Shortwave Radios, Car Stereos, Burgler Alarms, & Electronic Parts - just to name a few. No other retailer covered all of those catagories under one roof, at that time, on a nationwide basis.

I spent hundreds of dollars in Radio Shack during this era. However, many were small purchases such as an adapter, battery, component or other small dollar item (Amazon and eBay sell these today). I remember that in the late 80's I could buy single use batteries for about 15 cents each when other stores charged twice as much (Amazon has a lot of this market today but instead of buying one or two you buy 100 at a time). I did have the CoCo 2 and most of the accessories, though. I am curious as to what my credit limit would have been, though -- no one ever attempted to sell me on Citiline and I used my VISA or MasterCard for large purchases (paid off when the statement came, of course).

Target already had 235 U.S. stores by July 1986. Circuit City was quickly emerging as a Radio Shack competitor at this time; by April 1986 it had 73 stores and sales above $700 million a year. Best Buy was founded in 1980 and by 1986 began an expansion program beyond the Twin Cities into Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota.

For the first 30 years of its existence, Sears was a catalog business only. Then, as cities grew and expanded into suburbs, Sears was able to get more customers by opening department stores nationwide. Unfortunately, Sears missed the same opportunity Blockbuster Video did by failing to understand that physical locations where customers purchase items would rapidly be replaced by commerce by online purchasing, which is why Amazon is beating old fashioned retailers today.

I worked in a Radio Shack in the mid-90s. Smoking was permitted in the manager's office/stock room, and all managers smoked, 100% of them. In theory, it was not permitted in the store, but no one cared. I remember a customer dousing a cigarette before walking into the store, and one of my colleagues ran to the door to stop him, and told him to enjoy his cigarette while shopping in the store.

I never really understood the business model of this store being an early 80's baby and having worked there a short stint in the early 2000's. By this time their model was built off cell phone sales and lies. Employee moral was low. Daily returns that employees avoided due to backlash from management. Felt dirty everyday going in to work. They were in desperate need of store managers. In my mid 20's at the time, glad I changed course and went back to school instead of persuing a career with them.

I pay about $34 a month for my cell phone but if the power goes out after a few hours so does the cell phone (the tower generator runs out of gas) whereas the landline theoretically should never lose service as the switching building has a natural gas powered generator.

Like many, when I was a kid, RadioShack and Home Depot (and Ace Hardware) were my toy stores. Sure I liked Legos and videogames, but I hated typical toys stores. Around the year 2000, I got hired at RadioShack because I walked in to buy one of those white AC adapter bricks with the blue print for my portable speaker set. The store manager was the first to engage me, he asked me if 500 mah would be enough, I said no, they say 900 mah so I'd have to get the 1 amp brick, I think it's an M plug (remember the spider with all the plug ends, each hanging off a foot of wire?) and then I went to the shelf where they had the display of my speakers, brought them to the adapter wall and tested the plug in the socket, and noted the polarity of the plug. He rang me up, didn't offer me any of the bullshit promo stuff, which at the time was 3 cell phone carriers, cell phone accessory bundles, 2 satellite TV carriers, MSN ISP, a Compaq computer, item of the week, battery card.....probably missing like 20 other things. Instead of all that, he offered me a job, just because I read directions and walked in knowing what I needed. That was the standard, having a grasp of AC adapters. See, as expensive as radio shack was, and because they were primarily commission based, they had got in the habit of hiring salesman at the expense of hiring competent people who had even a tiny speck of technological comprehension. I spent nearly 2 woeful years being the only person on staff besides the head manager that could read resistors and most other components, without a chart, and nobody else besides us could solder effectively. I used to quiz my coworkers, many 10-20 years older than me and years of experience, on everything from ohms law to PC usage just so they'd stop asking me stupid questions and looking foolish to savvy customers. Of course, the more I taught them, the more they retained customers and commission, but the head manager would throw sales my way here and there to compensate. The only thing most of them could do is hook up a Stereo, and they still managed to screw that up from time to time. He just never could find anyone who wanted to work there who both wanted to be a salesman and also knew shit about shit, probably because my city was mid tech boom at the time, literally everyone who knew anything about electronic anything could easily have a better job that didn't have sales quotas. The other problem was, my manager was also a rank asshole, and had a nervous breakdown shortly after I quit to pursue one of those non-commission jobs. I....can't imagine I had anything to do with that...I only told him in front of the other associates that he was driving away the one candidate he had to take his place so he could get a cushy corporate job, and if he left one of THOSE jackasses in charge, he'd look like an asshole before he even saw his new desk. The others laughed, despite being offended, probably just shock because they all tiptoes around and babies his ego. Honestly, I was just talking shit on my way out the door, they all knew it, but it seemed I was incidentally right as well. I can imagine having it spelled out for him with an audience by an 18 year old cocky know-it-all jack ass apparently rang through his head a bit too often. He snapped pretty bad, as far as one can go without assaulting anyone, mumbling about getting shafted. It eesmed the higher-ups agreed with me, the new guy they brought in to replace had only started about a year before this, and he was already being groomed for corporate over the first manager who was a 10 year veteran, and he found out about it. When I think of RadioShack, I still think of the good times, but his permafrown still lurks, haunts those memories. My legacy was that I worked at my favorite store, and damn near burned it down. His legacy is passive aggressively teaching me how to handle an imploding narcissist, though detecting those kinds of people ahead of time took much longer to learn. I guess he also taught me to set boundaries with bosses and not take undue BS. It was the perfect first job. I've never told anyone that whole story before, somehow seemed like the right place to leave it. Kind of sums up everything that went wrong with the company, every time they brought in fresh healthy blood, they pushed it right back out the door again. Don't get me started on those damn Blockbuster injections and mall stores. Blockbuster crossover made sense in concept, but the price points were all wrong, and the color schemes were hideous haha truly what the kids today would call "Farming Ls". Jesus, did you read this whole thing?

I wish it was 1985. I feel like I've been stuck in 1984 if you know what I mean
