RadioShack

I don’t know why this chit hole is still open. The lack of customer service and courtesy alone should doom this sad example of a business. Let’s see, they are unethical, starting with the azz wipe Mario who calls himself a manager?! So glad to see you are slowly fading out. No wonder the stores are normally empty of customers!!!
Learn what customer service is.

I went in here about a year ago to buy a SATA to Molex power adapter. Immediately after walking in the door I was approached by the nearest salesman. I told him what I wanted and he immediately replied, «No, we don’t have anything like that.» Then I gave him the part number and told him the Radio Shack website indicated they had them in stock. «Oh,» was his response.
This wasn’t the first time I’ve had this experience at this store. The time before it was a 12V cigarette lighter style connector. That time I didn’t have a part number with me so I just smiled as the salesman told me «we don’t have that» then went and found it myself. He seemed unimpressed when I took my purchase to the register.
This store would be infinitely better if they would build a jail cell style cage around the register area and lock the salespeople in there for the duration of their shift. That way I could browse around to find what I need without them harassing me with their ignorance. And who knows, I might even find another item or two to buy if I wasn’t trying to get away from them as quickly as possible.

Okay… so I sent my husband to fetch a battery for my antique cell phone. I don’t generally use my cell that much, and don’t care to type with my thumbs. Cell phones, to me, are for incoming and outgoing calls period. The old phone still worked.
He landed at Radio Shack, and I have to say the experience turned out to be quite funny.
He comes home with the dead phone and says «They laughed when I suggested a battery! The girl asked how OLD the phone was and offered the choice of 4 available ‘free’ models». So we both go back to the store.
I will not say everything was excellent, nor was everything I witnessed what I would call «professional», but, suffice to say, we chuckled our way through getting hooked up with a new phone. And it wasn’t a horrid experience as I’ve had in the past.
We were in the store plenty long enough to see exactly how they operate by phone. Another guy was busily trying to access information from… somewhere, so he insisted his customer was impatiently waiting for an answer. Problem… he didn’t have a customer.
Beyond that, we got a phone, had some laughs, and didn’t feel too bad about the experience. It will not be my first choice for shopping electronics — never has been. But it’s nice to know you CAN order antique phone batteries at this location, if you really want to. :)

I would rather drive to Fry’s in Wilsonville than deal with the non compus mentus that exists at this store. I asked for a basic cable, was told they didn’t have it, only to return and discover that they do carry a basic SATA hard drive power cable. This isn’t my first rodeo with this store and every time has been an awful experience.
