Yeah, Radio Shack here is basically worthless.

We got a new mall 20 years ago, and another new one 2 years ago...and they never left the first mall. They were the last store there until it was torn down last year, and they re-opened in the same "hood" and focus on selling phones, beepers and car stereo stuff. At Christmas, they do load up on crappy remote control cars and handheld versions of card games.

They have very little essential electronic parts at all. I had better luck at Kmart.
