Anybody remember The Wiz when they did? Or am I getting old?

The only thing I've bought from Circuit City was the first season of Flight of the Conchords for $10 haha

AMAZON FTW!!!

Used to work there. If you worked there, you would have foreseen this months and months ago. The changes that the corporate offices made to the management/set-up of the stores basically just pissed off the employees and the customers alike. But this is what happens when you have a corporate office filled with morons that have never worked a retail floor in their lives. They think they know in their imaginations what customers want, when in reality all they had to do was spend a couple of months on the floor talking to their employees to figure out what works.

I can't understand how Radio Shack has survived this long.

This amazes me also as we have 3 here and none of them ever have any customers.

On a seperate note, people are saying CC was overpriced? I think Best Buy is overpriced as well. Though our BB is always busy...
