Radioshack rips me off

Radioshack was supposed to get me another DVD player (they
sold me a faulty one). They said it would be on Monday, and
then it was Tuesday. Then they said it'd be Thursday.
Then, they said it would be there on Friday! But it's
currently Saturday and they still don't have my damn DVD
player! Terrible company!

I'm going to give them a piece of my mind today, by god!
And they only had to have it shipped (via UPS) from a town
not more than 30 minutes away!
So something is obviously fishy, as UPS delivers packages
for a living, it doesn't take them over a week to get from
point a to point b!

I make a point to never buy anything from them unless I need
a patch cord or something.

And even then they manage to fuck me! I got a 6' extension
for my headphones and now it's starting to drop the right
channel! Fucking dickshitting mongs can't even make a
fucking cable properly.

We went there today and demanded a refund! The manager was
so bitchy... she was crossing her arms and leaning against
the displays as she asked us if we had a receipt. She was on
the cell phone, too! Then she made some lame excuse that the
people who were supposed to send the dvd player hadnt sent
them anything and they couldnt get them to send anything
(ppfftt, bullshit!) and she had some other girl handle our
receipt.

We got back the money and went to walmart with it. Now Luke
has the same dvd player that I have at home--its great!

Down with radioshack! >8(
(up with walmart?) :)

radioshack sucks. they hound you about giving out your
phone number when you try to purchase something from there
and if you refuse to give it, they get really nasty as if
you're beating their grandmothers...

They've stopped doing that. Apparently after years of angry
people screaming in their faces about the practice, its
unpopularity finally penetrated their tiny heads.

I wish there was a good electronics shop near me. There used
to be a Tandy but it was closed in favour of mobile phone
shop no.23751

The good thing about Tandy/Radioshack is you can buy
components from there and make the goods yourself. My mate
made his own speakers/customised leads.Anyway I digress..

If you want to upset a Radio Shack manager go to one radio
shack and buy as much as you can afford, don't buy batterys
or software. Make sure that you buy the extended warrenty
and then the next day take it all back to a different
radiosheck and explain that your wife had bought it all
cheaper elsewhere and that you want a refund. They can not
refuse and it really pisses them off. I used to work in
one!!!
