2014 corporate deathwatch

While I know of a Radio Shack not too far from where I live at this point the only reason I’d go in there is nostalgia. As a kid I would sometimes get a card for Radio Shack’s battery-of-the-month club. Come in once a month, get a free battery.

Buying batteries was, in fact, my main reason for going to Radio Shack. I quit when they started asking for my phone number. Now there’s a place called Batteries+Bulbs. I went in once to buy batteries…and got asked for my phone number. I suspect they won’t last as long as Radio Shack did.
