Infuriating to think that all these places can sell products with a 50% discount and still make money. The rest of the time how much are they raking in? But we are all scraping by and gotta do what we gotta do. Thanks for letting me vent.

    When I worked at Radio Shack, they had cell phones as loss leaders to sell AA batteries and those multi-tip charging blocks. The way management acted, it seemed like those were the only profitable items in the store. For some reason, they went bankrupt.

      Okay, but let me know if you see a RadioShack.

        There’s one near me, but in name only. It’s like a budget Sharper Image now.
