Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, EBay, Amazon and others all sell electronics that cut into CC and Best Buy market shares.

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...
