  • THIS IS SO TRUE! I WORKED THERE!

  • Wow.. And I thought radio shack was meant to be an idoled amazing electronics store, it sounds like shit now...

    If you're ever in England make sure you visit maplins, it's a proper electronics store with everything you need and even better, the staff are actually properly trained and are extremely helpful!!! :D

  • Any one on here work at RadioShack now? Cause y'all are all crazy!! Welcome to a low volume store!

  • This is kinda funny!I like the tune with hard pounding drums in it!Good Share!

  • I worked at Radio Shack in Louisiana back in 1990 at a mall, That was the best job I ever had. We lacked a manager and became number two in the district. The new Radio Shack really sucks. Zero on products and knowledge. One day if they survive maybe they can look back when Tandy was alive and see what really made them money. It was not cell phones or digital cameras. It was one wild store with December sales over $300K, Party every night

  • @rick4946 its too bad that society has changed in such a way that cell phones are the most important item in the store. radio shack is the largest retailer of cell phones. no one comes in to buy parts and ham radios anymore. thats in the past. today, people want cell phones and tablets, and home phone batteries. but cell phones is where all the commission is at

  • when its this boring pull up a chair and watch tv or play with the remote control cars ive had customers walk in on me playing and some buy them just dont break them while in use. satellite radio, play with demo phones, call a nigga up and tell him/her to chill

  • radioshack managers are assholes they go crazy if a customer keeps saying no on a service plan like my stupid ass manager goes drive in the sell im like no he doesnt want it

  • Radio Shack is a crappy company, they treat their employee's like shit, pay them starvation wages. Their regional managers are all assholes.

  • @Blahblobify idk what the fuck store you work at but im pulling in $750 every paycheck with all the phones i sell and our distric manager gives us gift cards all the time for selling the store

  • @MrAokayj

    I made about $150 a week at Radio Crap, you must be a lying sack of shit.

  • @Blahblobify then you needed another job. I make like $700-$900 every two weeks with phone sales. You sucked at your job lol.

  • Haha, when I worked at Radio Shack it was the same way :)

  • The people that work in radioshacks in LA are really big assholes. I had to split some audio for my tv and I was looking to buy audio splitters. And so I ask him and he asks for what, I say for tv. And im sure hes not supposed to but he starts yelling and getting mad why Im using splitters when I could buy a 400 dollar tv tuner or w/e to control audio and he got mad at me for why do I want to split audio for my tv. Fuck RS's they all began to go downhill since money whores began owning them.

  • "Hi, I'm looking for a battery for my cordless phone"

    "Do you guys have cordless phone batteries?"

    "Here's a tough one, cordless phone batteries!"

    "Can you replace this battery for me?"

    "I need this phone battery...And while I'm here can you top up my prepaid 'ATT to go phone'?"

    I'm in the second highest volume store in my district.

    If we removed phone and watch batteries (And prepaid time) from the store, we'd quickly become the lowest volume.

    And nothing would make me happier.

  • Don't you have price tags to put up or orders that need to go out. Stuff to Rmac. Certifications to do..... Always things to do.

  • dude i work at radio shack now and it blows i deal with dumb ass free loading customers all day that jus come in on there bad days to take it out on us

  • @TheDevon1529 Me too. It is the shittiest retail job ever. The amount of work for pay is atrocious. Management, there is no training from your manager only from powerpoint videos you watch & read about, & you're expected to perform miracles every day by selling cell phones & forcing people into buying additional bullshit cases, car chargers, & screen protectors. The higher ups actually think people in this day & age are dumbasses & will actually buy their RS service plans... STAY AWAY

  • @planosuperman86 Until about a decade ago it was a good job actually (except the friggin asking customers name n address) - yeah, late 90s was a good time to work there

    then all the stuff you're talkin about happened

  • where is your nametag? proper uniform? your manager?

    we'd have been sent home for not having either.

  • obviously you never worked RS at any point between october and january.. I spent 4 years as a mgr trainee and store mgr in the mid 90's and never once had days that dead.

  • im from uk and i see a mcdonalds lol

  • I don't get anytime to that at my store. Funny video

  • i wish my store was that slow sometimes

  • Haa! I work at one in Lousiana as well and we do have some DUMB customers!!! You don't understand unless you have worked at one here!!!

  • Most of the time is dam expensive. They do sometime have on sale good stuff.

  • Ha! I work at a mall store in a touristy area. When the tourist leave in September this is what it's like for all of October :)

  • i work at radioshack, and this video couldent be more accurate. they need to wake up and start doing things right before they go out of business. change the product lineup, add a wider selection, theme, and pay rate otherwise were done. so many good employees are leaving cus of pay, and they are being replaced with shit workers. its kinda sad that they arent taking action

  • I hate the people tht come in thinking they know what they need wen they don't!! So I asked if they need help and they said no! So it takes them like an hr to look around and then they come ask for help like WTF!!! haha!! I thought u knew what u needed haha! Or the other pple tht come in askin questions then u show them what they need and they try to argue with u sayin we wrong wen we know we right!!! Those days were funnnny!!!!

  • This is soooooo true!!!! Hahahahah!!! I worked at the shack from feb 06- Jan 2010 but we bumped some bomb electro out loud fk it!!! Hahaha

  • I work at the shack..(lol) I had a man ask me what wifi was once. The best part is, he pronounced it WEEFFEE

  • Radio Shack was once a place to find a true geekster to help you ... those guys are gone for the most part. The atmosphere changed . It's all about cell phones anymore. I got tired of being lectured about not forcing them down everyones throat while being one of the few employees who actually listened to customers who came in for a scanner/antenna/component, etc ... Fun for a while but good riddance

  • that's clearly not uniform not was it ever.

  • Typical little douchebag with zero work ethic.

    I know it's only a retail job, but If you were that bored, then clean a shelf, remerchandise those bare shelves, or read some product manuals to expand your knowledge. Show some pride !!

    You stupid punks think the world is handed to you on a sliver platter. Good luck with your life, you're gonna need it.

  • @store275 HAha, bare shelves? RS never has bare shelves.

  • @store275 Oh, and what the fuck is a sliver platter anyway? Idiot.

  • @berger1980

    If you never heard the expression "handed to you on a silver platter" then I suggest you check your underwear for shit stains because you probably never learned to wipe your smelly ass either.

    Fuckwad.

  • This company is a joke to work for. crappy hours and worse pay unless you are put at a store that actually gets customers then its alright.

  • Wow! Your store is very CLEAN... First, there's no customers, 2nd no clutters and 3rd no other employees working. I wonder where's the store manager? In the backroom acting like they're doing something and they get paid the big bucks? LOL... LMAO

  • Ahha. I see things are really hopping at the Marysville, OH Radio Shack. I'll give you a call! It's still 937-644-1530??

    Good vid! Thanks for the laugh!

  • You Can't Be That bored At Radioshack.

    That's Why They Have Direct TV.

    To Amuse Me At Work.

  • @PresidentOfNiger true! lol

  • @PresidentOfNiger Na, we didn't have it in our store lol

  • @nhackley we got dish network nigga

  • Funny video. You have more of a career in making videos than you would at Radio Shack.

  • Man.. that's not true. Someone I know works her ass off selling cell phones, and devices to customers..

  • I remember the old days when i ask to a sales man for a capacitors, resistor, or a  circuit tuning coi, they know everything. Now they have a stupid kids like this?

  • man i wanna work at RS so badly, they never call me back :(

  • Ugly kid

  • Yeah that is how our Radioshack is, except it's a corner store in the main street.

    The poorest store in town.

    No customers.

  • hello i worked at radio shack for 4 years it used to be great. then they at the time Tandy corp. switched everything to radioshack and slowly turned the place into a cell phone store. by the time it was done what a great place radio shack was had become a cafe mocha cell phone store with a few a faint shadow of what made the place radio shack and now there even trying to dich the name now its "the shack" ?????? what happened! hopefully some day they will return to there roots, one can only hope

  • @apostolicchip haha yeah and all of our old customers complain because we cant fix a scanner or help them in the drawers

  • I work at a shack in cali and i have no idea how we stay above water, apparently the iphone is supposed to save us but we have only sold 1 in the past two weeks....

  • @joeymorris91 haha ive only sold one in a month but i sell a lot of sprint lol

  • this is fucking harlious but you should also show how they fuck with us about rssp and stupid shit

  • Heh, funny vid. Sometimes its soooo dead, and nothing to do but just stand around. We like to throw screwdrivers at the ceiling.

  • fantastic idea

  • Damn and here I was thinking we were the only ones! hahaha yessss

  • I work at a Radioshack In philly.... way more fun and boogers.. and homeless panhandlers giving out condoms.

  • is there any radio shack store everywhere in the us?

  • This is a very upbat video. Nathan, you look very upbeat despite a boaring scenario. By the way, I am a past Radio Shack associate.

  • This is awesome i work at a radioshack and it gets soo boring

  • ya some days.

  • ha. i work at a RS in louisiana. and at least you dont have the worlds dumbest customers coming in all day.

    sure the motto used to be "you have questions, we have answers"... but one should really evaluate the the question before hand. Is it ridiculous? if so, dont ask it.

  • haha well mostly the questions include...

    "Do you have any phones?"

    or

    "Do you have an adapter?"

  • @TeslaCannon I had almost that EXACT conversation with a RadioShack employee when I was there a while back, shopping for various components. They were a little surprised by the fact that I knew the exact part I needed, one thing led to another and then they told all about how many "adapter" calls they get.

    I shouldn't have been surprised.

  • @Disasterkidandco seriously ignorant ass people some woman told me i should know everything in this store......she was mad because i didnt know what she wanted when she wanted a "connector" like wtf

  • @xiilmaticx06 lol i know the feeling. i get the same with "video cables". when i ask what kind of video cable, they swiftly reply..."FOR THE VIDEO". i direct them to the wall of S-Video, Coax, RCA, Composite, HDMI, and other assorted cables and let them stand there for a minute or so. After i feel like theyve looked dumb enough, i walk up and ask if they found what they needed.

    The consensus after that is that apparently we carry a variety of "video" cables. who knew they made more than one :P

  • @Disasterkidandco I work at a RS in louisiana Too! I work at the Slidell store off of Gause Blvd. I dunno who got the idea that we are that slow.. Almost every morning, especially on the weekends, there are customers waiting at the door before we open..so this video is complete BS.

  • i would hate having a laminate floor

  • Wow. Way too true! I could count the amount of customers we had come in today on one hand. No one at my store wants RSSPs when I offer, just about everyone has Verizon (which we don't carry anymore), and there wasn't anything to do. Tags were up, there was no RMAC, and I lost out on a PS3 sale bc a coworker stole my customer.

  • heeyyy, I work in Radio Shack, my store is always full ..... I wanna work in your store..

  • HA! Nice job on the music too! Fly some helicopters!!

  • i want that job!!! how do i get in ion the deal?!

  • radio shack is my technology heaven :D

  • HAHA very true. Its either that or do stupid ass price tags and brainless busy monkey work.

  • good vid.

    Is this the new RS in Marysville?

  • haha it sure is my friend

  • u better get sum RSSP service plans !!! n sum wireless attachments !!!! man i hate that fuckin job, nobody wants a fuckin replacement plan, y do we even gotta offer ??

  • I really hope you didn't get paid on commission lol.

  • commission was bonus :)

  • So true so true. Worked there for 4 years, so thankful to have found another job

  • hahahaha this is soo true i love it. should of busted out a price gun or something!

  • Well that seems about right. But come on, don't you have an RMAC to do? Or some ATGs?

  • lol maybe.. if i knew what those were man lol

  • You've got questions, We've got batteries.

  • and thats about it lol

  • Great!

  • Very typical, when not many people! great dude!! ;)

  • bs i work at radio shack it's nothing like that

  • mine was

  • How the hell do you think we made the video dude? its obviously during the day

  • hahahahahaha yeah i know i was drunk when i wrote that and there are 5,000 or so radio shacks in the us and i expect them all to be just like mine... ahh the power of alcohol

  • lol its cool dude.. and true dat

  • @nhackley ive had so many days like that it was rediculous!

  • word bro.. word

  • Comment removed

  • @granthill50 if you work a radio shack when are gen 3 xmods coming out

  • @granthill50 yea mine was too

  • @granthill50 i have an interview tommorow how much will they pay is it really this boring

  • @granthill50 i also worked at a Radio Shack, in a small town its just like this.

  • @granthill50 mine is almost that slow

    

  • at least he's got a chair...!!!!

  • Lance Pharmstrong can now help move RadioShack's tainted MP3 players, ipods, flatscreens, etc.

    He can multi task (sell sneakers made by 5 year olds in Asia, then inject INsulin, EPO, HGH, female hormones, infuse cow blood and his own blood, tampers & silence all witnesses, and of course sell RadioShack's products.)

  • Though my manager thought it was kind of sketchy that 5 of my friends had 6 drives go bad in the last month of the service plan.

  • lmaooo nice. Thats why you have to plan it out! lol

  • Mira estas solo me hubieras invitado a tener sexo jajajajaja

    Uhuuuu

  • en ingles...

    fuck you very very much!!!! :)

  • Wow, that is not true AT ALL. Our radioshack and almost all of the ones in our district are always packed with customers.

  • omg i feel bad for you

  • mejor saca una lista de precios de tu area, y correle què ya cambiaron los precios, promociones... :s que porkeria de video como no los ponen a hacer nuestro trabajo, hacen una pinche mierda ustedes :)

    en fin

  • english please?

  • Also usually we are that bored in the store...just waiting for customers to come in or keep up the store or make new tags if we're not busy.....to walk around with a tag gun to correct prices or tags that went missing because of a customer using them to write something down >_> (over 200 tags) There were always some stupid contest with people who didnt want to vacuum up the place at night. Everyday it was always something else...

  • The main thing for Radioshack employees now to do was to sell Postpaid (contract) and prepaid phones. OH yeah and to try to rip you off with service plans. Now Im not saying that the warranty didnt come in handy at times but they're only good for big items (LCD's, Laptops and etc.) not small stuff like a freaking memory card!

  • Jade when you buy it on the memory card it's not a replacement plan... its a memory card upgrade plan. You buy the plan and in a year you dump the information, send the card back saying it got corrupted, they send you a gift card for the purchase price. You go back to radioshack and buy a card double the size.

  • yeahhh but are you REALLY going to go through all of that just to HOPEFULLY get a gift card? As I remember they sometimes "forget" to send you one or never send the shipping labels to send the product back because now they have it as you have to send the item back.

  • Actually Radioshack is really worried about their image & BBB ratings right now and aren't screwing around anymore. Ive been with them for 2 years and haven't ever had a problem with it. My friends and me came up with the idea when I first got there. So far 5 of my friends are in the program and I replaced their 4 gig thumb drives with 8 gig thumb drives like 2 months ago.

  • been there... done that.

    Those gray shelves are right sturdy, too.

    We didn't even have cell phones... 'cept prepaid...

    I know, right?!

  • lol that was hella funny lol

  • You're not in dress code ...

  • You're not caring about things that are important. Bitch.

  • thats exactly what radioshack is like  lol

  • i work at a radioshack and its never that slow. lies! lol

  • P.S. Ur store looks like crap. Fix it up if u got nuthin to do

  • i quit

  • aye so did i. Me and nhackley were the ones who did this video.. must say, this was my proudest moment as a radioshack employee lmao that store blew and no body came in. we also had another video, "RadioShack Battle Royal" which we haven't put on there yet lol but in response o urgoinggonzo, F-U buddy! I've got real jobs now! That was just for school so i could do my homework and actually get somewhere in life =D lol

  • u must have sucked if u think raddioshack isnt a good job i work their n i make mad money sellin phones n iim only part time

  • ha no one comes in for phones to begin with.. plus sprint blows in my town, every one is on verizon dood. and i never said i didnt like it! i just said i got a real job now lol

  • so jus cuz they dont come in for phones ias an excuse???u gotta make the sell bro thats how u get paid lol

  • Very true!

  • @nhackley im done there in 8 days!!! finally!!

  • i feel sorry sometimes for radioshack :(

    but the employees at my radioshack are the nicest salespeople by far! :D

  • should have had someone in the video doing a return since more people return shit than actually buy. atleast at my store, so many fucking tourist who come in and just rent shit for the weekend

  • I am currently standing in radioshack (working) whiule i type this. so fucking true man this job sucks

  • I worked at a Radio Shack (back when it had a space in the name) in the late 1980's. When did the dress code go away? We had to wear suits back then! Ah, fun days. I dressed better to work retail than I have had to at any of my high end jobs since...!

  • boy is this an old video radio shack stopped selling cb antennnas years ago

  • no...they didn't

  • only some stores carry them

  • This looks like a Non corp store, they sell whatever they want, and im in a shack right now looking at cbs

  • nope, we filmed it last year lol our store just sucked =D

  • My Store is never and I mean never out of custumers!! its like there is no recession!!!! lol I mean we make like more then 10 thousand everyday!

  • ive been to radioshack before.. it sucked . just go to best buy :P all the radio shacks in my city are gone

  • news to you bro.....RS will NOT be going out of business anytime soon.

  • This is hilarious because it's true. I just started working there not too long ago...for the experience. Very easy money and good to have quota sales and customer experience on your resume.

  • Not to worry bro, RS will soon be out of business and you will be put out of your misery.

    Besides, nobody really wants to work at the Shack, they just kinda wind up there. One word of encouragment, no matter what job you get in the future it will always be better then RS.

  • Worst job i ever had, the pay sucked, no one ever came in to shop, and we had a new manager every 6 months so the DM could keep his job.

    Still, it was fun getting minium wage playing Xbox all day when the manage left at noon. I guess it took up time till i got a real job

  • best thing about working at a dead radioshack

  • He's not wearing a nametag. Oh no. That's grounds for a write up!

  • lol, that happened a bit too

  • Yeah, Kind of :/ putting up with an asshole DM comes into play too though :/

  • Yeah. That's the worst part, isn't it? I'm glad our DM's not the only one who's an asshole.

  • I worked at Radio Shack several years ago and that is exactly what it is like. I remember 1 day, we had a total of 6 customers come in all day. we made about $16. Needless to say, that store is no longer open.

  • wow ur store sucked...i did $1800 with 2 customers by myself last friday

  • Comment removed

  • Dude, I work at radio shack and that is EXACTLY what we do most of the time!!

    And to those customers, cut us some slack. We are employees at a retail chain ok. We are NOT computer tech"s.

  • whats funny is how RS employees dont seem to know anything about pc's other than your basic stuff. i went the other day and i saw this RS guy trying to figure out how to flip the desktop cus apparently someone flipped it upside down and he looked so funny with the laptop upside down trying to fix it. i just went like "omfg...gimme a sec...bam...fixed"

    Radioshack needs employees that can differ an ethernet port from a dial-up port, not trained monkeys

  • Hey cockface, you are a nerd simple as that. You can sit there all smug and shit like you just won a fucking nobel prize for "outsmarting" a trained monkey as you so cleverly put it., but nonetheless you are fucking pathetic.

    You suck. Your whole comment was fucking trash. Don't expect people who work for a retail store, who are pretty much expected to put sales first to know that shit, it is not PC SHACK ITS RADIOSHACK FUCK HEAD!

  • dude i work at radioshack and thats pretty much how it is fuck planograms and RSSP

  • he didn't flick his booger according to planogram hahaha

  • I work at a RS it is a lot like this except he left out the old people and putting away endless boxs of useless things u could buy cheaper at any other electronics store easy money I guess even though we redo the whole store once every month it seems....

  • haha this is hilarious...it is exactly what it was like.

    i know a lot of people that took naps while opening or you know, just bored.

    it was fun at times though, not having to work.

  • BTW anyone else notice the firewall is down. We don't have notebooks in our store, but the last 3 days we've been able to get on any websight. Too bad no speakers in the computers up front :( Youtube just isn't the same w/o sound

  • LOL this is great! I was watching this at my store today and lmao. My store is a day store, so after 7 it's just like this. Also sunday mornings until 12, nobody comes in, and yep, I just watch movies, or listen to sirius until we start getting customers. BTW to all who would say I'm lazy, We just opened black friday. We had 10 days to set up every gondola, peg, shelf, and put out 642 boxes of stock. Everything in that store is perfect and where it goes. So there is really nothing to do!

  • Wow. Wrong wrong wrong. lol

    I work at radioShack, and it is nothing like this. At all.

    It's a GREAT place to work.

  • 01-8391 in texas! quit because the manager got mad at some stupid shit and told me to give him the keys to the store back and that I was no longer a keyholder. I told him for what I make here you can shove these keys up your fucking ass in front of about 7 customers. Ahh I do miss slacking off at that job though, it's such easy money even though the customers are retarded.

  • "Ahh I do miss slacking off at that job though, it's such easy money even though the customers are retarded.  " thats why you don't have your job, you idiot. and i bet you will never have one.

  • This is how I feel in my store

    to all the loosers talking about why is he not doing anything are gay, very gay.

    Who cares we dont get payed enough to give a F*CK about dumbass radiobawlz.

    I realy liked the guy walking in look and hit a U turn, we have that all the time,

  • if u dint gert paid enough its cuz u must have sucked balls iim only part tie n my lowest check has neen $650

  • hahaha that was funny, i work at 8326, i wish i could just wear anything....we never get to just sit like that though!! always something to do!! throwin out a hey to MC @ 2791! and all the other SA who pass by this message!

  • Oh ok then, lol.

    It used to be 16, till this year, now it's 18.

  • U have to be 18.

  • What store is that?!

    I work at 2791, CT.

    Ur store suck man, plus this is totally NOT a dress code of a R.S. if u were working in my store I would've fire u =/

  • it was a franchise, so basically no dress code lol. plus my uncle owned it, so he couldnt fire me

  • what a queer, bet u live and breath RS

    U drink spiff for breakfast, and Jerk off to RSSP

  • whats RSSP?

  • Radioshack Service Plan

  • I don't get it. How do you guys have a lot of time to do nothing? We always have to put up the order, do planograms,floor replinishment and fronting. Does your manager do all of that or something? I want to work at your stores
