   Now I can appreciate all the shenanigans played on Radio Shack 
employees - considering that I worked there for a year and a half!  Never 
again will I work in that hole.  Anyway - just remember that all those Radio 
Shack Goons have a Goonier Manager over their shoulder demanding that they 
sell x items in xx seconds (etc)....  Hated that job...

One from the vault...

This actually happened to me while working at radio shack:

  This guy comes in - looks like he is a few bricks short, if you take my 
meaning - 70 degrees outside and he's wearing a full winter coat.  So anyway 
he looks around for a while, and gets very excited when he finds the pocket 
Casino with the dazzling LCD screen - he immediately grab the red Radio 
Shack batteries (yeah, the cheap 19 cent ones) and brings it up to the 
counter.  This was too funny.  We let the manager take this one:

Manager:  May I have the last four digits of your tel. number?  (the 
standard opening line at the cash register)

Weird Guy:  (in a raised voice) NO TELEPHONE NUMBER! NO NAME! NO ADDRESS! NO 
AGE! NO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! JUST... The Purple Condor! (I am not lying!)

M:  Excuse Me?

PC:  I am known as the Purple Condor!

M: (OK) (Rings up total)  That comes to 17.98.

The Purple Condor pulls out this plastic bag with at least 100 dollars 
wrapped up in rubber bands in 10's, 5's, and 1's, throws it on the counter, 
and says: Take what you need...

M:  (Rings up sale, and not able to resist)  Purple Condor, eh?

PC:  Yes!  The Purple Condor.  That's it.

M:  I had the Green Condor in here the other day, what a coincidence!

PC:  (very paranoid/nervous)  GREEN Condor?!  And rushes out of the store.

This is an absolutely true story - Not a shenanigan - but if it was it would 
be hilarious
