An article about Radio Shack

[Brian]

Having nevr heardf The Onion my fist thought was this guy deserves a raise as he is the first executive to admit he does not have a clue about abusiness model of a company that is makig money. At the same time I thught, he'll be looking for a job aboutthe same time I finish reading the aticle. Though RS is no longer in Canada having been renamed "The Source" it is still herein model as The Source is as disjointed though in some of the bigger locations thereis emerging at least a theme and some continuity of product. I di hve a laugh whe I wasin 1 recently and the salesperson saw me looking at radios, stereos and teles. He approachedin all his glory and askedif he could show me somethng. I politely thanked him but tld him that since buying a crystal radio frm RS in the '50s and it was working so well, I was not thinking really of buying anything. He proceeded to ask me if I needed any batteres for it as they had battery sale going at the moment. I nicely explained that it is not a battery set as it operates on dylithium crystals. His respnse was that they did no have any crystls in stock but he was sure he could find some at another store or even special order them for me. I told him I'd keep it in mind next time I needed some.
