Re: New Discussion Group for Radio Shack Employees said by donoreo:So if the appeal fails, what will you call the group after June 30?  (for those with short term memory, that is the date InterTan/Circuit City has to stop using the name in Canada) As I've said before, CircuitShed  . However, RadioHut would also be fun. |
| Well, It's interesting to see all this talk about RS. I worked for the company for a long time and was very proud of the customer service I provided. I managed one of the 1st larger format concept stores in the Montreal area.
I managed the following stores (In order):
5445
5414
5449
5448
5451
5429
It's going to be sad to see RadioShack Canada change names...but does anyone else look at the news on the RadioShack Corp. US website?
Once RadioShack Canada changes it's name, RadioShack USA will probably come back to Canada and open it's own stores.
That's messed up. They will just take the 30+ years of customer name recognition and walk away with the customers who have no idea what happened with all the name changes.
I tell you that the name change will kill a lot of RS stores once RS USA comes north. |

I just can't stand Radio Shack, never could. Especially in Brantford. It seems that all they have a stupid tech toys that serve no real fucntion.
"Hey honey, instead of buying a new computer for christmas let's get an inflatable RC car!"
Most Radio Shacks I've been in are too small to hold the product they have, usually have kids playing with the toys, and often sales staff that haven't a clue about real technology.
A customer bought an mp3 player from me today, and was just at Radio Shack before coming in. She was told that "128 MB mp3 player will hold 4 hours of CD Quality music." My ass it will. When running mp3's @ 128kbps you get approx. 1 hour for every 64 MB.
I hate it when retail staff try to take advantage of a customer. It's just morally/ethically wrong, and is NOT the way to close a sale.
