Rat Shack is simply short for Radio Shack .....You have to start somewhere , Managers make good money and can go from store to store helping to put other stores inline. Those guys make minumum wage , they do get proceeds from items sold , if your not that bright ? chances are you might not sell much ? . The store is more designed nowadays for cell phone sales and there contracts ,that's were the money really is for those guys. CB radio /Scanners/ connectors and coax are getting thin to done in my area in these stores/push ups are gone as well.....its just not about that anymore. They have been in business now for getting on 40 years ....I'd say they did something right over the years. Once sold some great cb radios in the 70s and early 80s /usually Cobras or Unidens just with the Realistic name on them ,there stereo equipment was the same way , I believe Pioneer made most of there stuff for many years.They don't even have catalogs anymore ,it's more so an online thing with them. I'd guess to say that a guy would be out of luck if he didn't have access to the internet. The prices have never really been to fair at The Shack over the years anyway ....I think they get 5.00 for 2 pL-259s without the reducers ...that would be another 2.00 !!! ....now your looking at almost 8 bucks !! thats really bad !!! for little odds and ends at the last minute ....Radio Shack has still come in handy for my needs over the years....just not so much nowadays.
