RadioShack

Unilocal says opens at 9am. Not correct. Called ahead. No One there. Sign on the door says Store does not open until 10am. Wasted trip.

My boyfriend sibling and I went went into the store. They went to look at phone cases and RC cars, so I wonder off to look at things I might need for the bedroom and the women coworker followed me and I looked at her and she looked the other way and played with her hair. Didn’t ask me if I needed help? Poor customer service. Kept looking at me like I going to steal something. So I went to my boyfriend told grab what your going to buy and let’s go! NEVER COMING BACK! To this location.

I think everyone is being a bit too harsh on these guys. It’s a corporate company that surely under pays their employees. You think these guys are going to have degrees in electrical engineering? Get real.
Do your research. Google around a little bit before you go in so you know what you need. If you’re computer savy enough to write a Unilocal review, you can surely manage that, and then you won’t have to rely on someone else’s expertise, or lack thereof, to find what you need. Seriously, I’ve been able to solve every electrical predicament I’ve ever had, from simple to intricate, using the Internet.
The only times I go here are when I need something immediately. Of course everything is cheaper on eBay or Amazon, but sometimes I can’t wait that long. I walk in, I find what I need, I pay at the register, I walk out. The cashiers are always chill and when I ask someone where the specific item I am looking for is, they walk me over to that section. Pretty easy. Put a little effort in and they will too.

I called in to ask about a certain kind of cable. The guy told they had those cables, but then asked me for the specifics of the cable… I told him what it was.
Then he say «you’ll have to come and check».
Why would you ask me for such specifics if you aren’t going to bother to do anything with that information?
Talking to people here is like talking to a Robot. Useless.
I went into the store and met uselessness.
they didn’t have what I needed.
Wasted time.

Radio Shack is dying for a reason. Today I was just browsing, saw a cell phone power cube that the clerk said was on sale, and so did the tag, and at the register there was no discount for the sale price. I asked and she said that the white one was not on sale, but the blue one was. So, fine, let’s buy blue! Whoops, no discount — apparently the sale price only kicks in on Black Friday, 4 days from now.
Bottom line: Clerks are clueless, they bait and switch, they are a remnant from another generation and deserve to be put out of their misery. I would not buy anything here that you might want to return in the future because they MAY NOT BE AROUND! Read the news — their financial predicament is easy to find and read about.

No matter how simple the project is or how common the product is, this particular RadioShack store is the WORST at having what you need. The staff is totally clueless about what products they have in stock, let alone what products to suggest to get the job done. They really don’t care whether or not you find what you need. You would be better served to drive further to another store than to waste your time at this one.

Been coming here off and on since I was a kid, even when it was the old store before the whole lot it was in was demolished and rebuilt, and my oh my how this place has degraded…
The two scrubs working there likely understood more about dealing drugs than they did consumer electronics, one of them I actually recognized from highschool, and knew right away I was in trouble, as he had told several «stories» about himself to his friend.
I needed a replacement battery pack for my landline phone — oddly a radioshack phone I bought at a thrift department store– and wasnt sure of the connecter that was needed. One of the guys asked if I needed any help finding something, as he should. But quickly expressed dismay, as he didn’t know what I was looking for, instead of breaking open easily openable battery packs and comparing connectors, as these could of easily been placed right back in the package for future sales.
So, avoid Radioshack as much as you can, call it rat shack instead, and go to a real electronics store, if you can!
