The phenomenon that is RadioShack

[proper english]

Seriously.. how does RadioShack stay in business??? How they outlasted a handful of seemingly successful business is amazing to me.. 

check around.. i guarantee the RS' in your local stripmalls are the oldest establishments there (Eastbay Area heads, agree with me?.. Fremont & Hayward are littered with them)

BTW, the things that they sell & the prices they charge are

There's one back home that's in a mall that's basically down to about 6 other stores still open (small !+! town). I've NEVER seen anyone actually buy something in there, usually it's just parents throwing their kid in there to play with a remote controlled car while they shop elsewhere lol.

they changed their focus to cellphones 5-10 years ago, this has kept them afloat

with that said... they don't have good bookkeeping

edit:
I mean 'changed their focus of sales to cellphones'
