Q&A - Radio Shack Employee

Hello, I'm a Radio Shack employee, and I've been reading this board often.

I figure there might be a need to have some questions that need to be answered. So here I am, ask away.

They're waiting for the manufacturer to add French to the instructions. Just Jokin'. It's weird that they wouldn't sell them at all Radio Shacks. I mean, they sell everything else in Canada that they sell here. I just don't get it.

There is a limit of 2 per RR employee. I'm not at liberty to say how much I get as a discount.

As Far as I know, the only thing in the pipeline is the new beetle.

Thats funny.....


How many Zip Zaps do you normally get in a shippment, and how long do they last?

We have a little tiny RS store over here where I work and they havent gotten any in a LONG time. They keep saying their shipments get rerouted to bigger/ higher demand stores. I dont think thats really fair

Are you in a large or small store?
