A horrible company, hell-bent on destroying the lives of it's employees. The manager's have worked there for at least 10 years, on their very first date, it's their 10th anniversary. Typically the store-management consists of the hippie-washup microsoft-loving wannbe-musicians, hell bent on selling you a cellphone.
The typical sales associates are rather arrogant, all they want to do is upsell you shit that you don't need. If they are beneath the age of 22, they want to leave for a new job as soon as possible.
Overall, try and stay away from Radioshack. Underhanded practices and selling you short of what you need is their aim in life.

Manager: Would you like to buy this cellphone?
Customer: No, just this battery
Manager: Are you sure? It's an awesome price
Customer: It's 300 dollars, and I have a better one
Manager: Well I bet this can do more, why don't I give you a show of what it can do?
Customer: No, just the battery.
Manager: Want to open a Radioshack card?
Customer: Just the battery, stop trying to sell me crap.
Manager: OK, but you get 10% of your first purchase.

An electronical parts store that was very popular in the 80s and 90s but is now murder by the Internet. The Internet has better prices and the workers their speak better English then anyone at radioshack. Today their only business is a bunch of Mexicans buying phones to call back to Mexico with. They also capitalize on people who dont know about the internets 90% less prices such as seniors
let me just run to radioshack to get a memory card for my camera
Screw that youll never even get service they only care about selling stinky mexicans cell phones

A radioshack zach is when you have an employee (does not have to be at a radioshack, but usually is) that doesn't know jack shit about anything your store sells. They generally race to the door to greet the person and welcome them to radioshack. Sounds like a good employee so far, well he's not. After they ask the person what they want, he then turns to the other, older, person working with him and asks 1 or more of the following:
"Where is that?"
"Do we have that?"
"Do you know anything about that?"
"Do you know what that is?"
Then after the other employee helps the customer radioshack zach steals the sale and gets the commission. However they do not stop there, when someone returns something on him, they do not specify that he was the seller, because if a radioshack zach did that, his commission would be taken away for that sale. A radioshack zach, usually likes to snowboard and drive. However he is not good at either one. They have numerous accidents on the snow on the mountain and the asphalt. If you are an employer, do NOT HIRE A RADIOSHACK ZACH
