I left the store and went over to Walmart and picked up a few things.
Was about an hour later that I happened to walk by the Rad Shack and I
saw the store manager playing with a RC car out on the sidewalk

Pay peanuts - get monkeys.

When the CEO is a fake college grad, what can you expect but fake
employees, for the most part.

If you find a RS with a good knowledgeable employee, treasure that
store and don't go to the ones with the burger-kiddies ("Would you
like any cellphones with that?").

The last RadioShack I went to, (this is a good story, really!), the
"kid" working there took a new scanner that a customer puchased and
hooked it up to the store's PC. Loaded all the local freqs including
TRUNKING freqs in a minute or two.

Blew my socks off - I'd have guessed a 17 year old would have sold the
scanner and said, "have a nice day".

Made me think of even buying a new scanner...
