Radio Shack was so cool. They had parts and supplies you couldn't find anywhere else and I don't remember them ever not having something that I needed.

[@mattskustomkreations]

Agreed. But when they tried to be a phone seller and then asked customers for a lot of personal info, that was a real turn-off.

[@shaaronie]

Radio Shack had the worst customer service. The entire staff would give their complete attention to one customer at a time while the rest of us watched and waited our turn at this over pampering. I started dreading going there and then stopped completely.

I used to be a regular BB customer. Like a lot of us, I sometimes picked up a late charge for not returning a movie on time. It was never anything excessive and I always paid it when I rented my next film. That all changed when they sent my account to collections for a small late fee, because I hadn't rented a movie in a few weeks. I went in, paid all they claimed I owed and surrendered my BB card. Never went back. Ever.

I worked at the Tower Records store in the U District in Seattle all through college ('81-85_). LOVED that job...had a great manager, awesome co-workers, and basically got paid to talk about music with fellow audiophiles. That was an great time to be involved anywhere in the music scene, but especially in Seattle. Used to get a lot of comp'ed tickets. Saw pretty much every grunge and garage band on their way up..Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam. Motley Crue and Queensryche even played in store....Man this brings back memories..

I didn’t go to Tower records that much but here in Detroit we had this local record shop that was black owned that everybody went to. I feel sorry for the people who never got to experience that feeling of going to a record shop and buying that new cd. It’s like a feeling I can’t really describe. You really just felt like a new person. It was also a very exclusive feel knowing you had that new album that people didn’t have yet. Everything wasn’t at the touch of your fingers like it is now.

19:30 When I was in high school, (1963-1966) I was into Ham radio and there were two big companies that published huge catalogs of every possible component needed for the hobby. They were Radio Shack (the name says it all) and Allied Electronics. I can still remember the thrill of leafing through the catalogs looking at and lusting for the various components.

Old friends have been able to track me back down after losing touch over the years using it lol.

As someone who’s worked for a company that no longer exists, buyers beware. When a company goes under (at least in this day and age) most of the time their intellectual property is also sold off. So these companies that are “only online” now are most likely just using a name, logo, customer contact info etc that they bought. They may look the same, but they’re often completely different owners with similar products.

[@Gargamel19]

I loved toys R us but my family was too poor to even be able to walk in there let alone buy anything. It was fun getting to play with the go carts and some of the toys until they started locking everything up and then I just wasn’t interested anymore. My now husband of 20 years worked at fry’s when I spotted his love for computers and told him it would be a good idea. He loved it and made a killing selling computers! People that bought some of the things he helped them with would come back and ask for him! Later he was plucked outta there and went on to bigger and better things because he worked there! Thanks fry’s!!! We’ll always be grateful to you! Lol

I worked at Circuit City during their decline. It started with cutting sales staff salaries which in some cases were in the six figure range down to around minimum wage.

[@user-bu5ye3mr5w]

The #1 thing that goes wrong with big business, is to put profits ahead of all else, or to try and figure out, if we do this or that, what will create the most profit. They try this and always fail. Instead, you need to focus on the needs of your customers and let profits take care of themselves. Ironically, the least you worry about profits, the more you'll have. Put me in charge of a big business, I'll show you. I'll make plenty of money. I'll never go out of business.

I still have my very first pager. It also still works. Doctors and hospitals still use pager because of the reliability of them.

I had a Mercury Mystique for a few years. Nice car. It was an upgraded Ford Contour. It had a few more bells & whistles. I bought it used from a dealer. I had a Zune for 3 days till I brought it back. I exchanged it for an iPod Nano. I had a 75 Pontiac Firebird. That one I bought from my uncle’s friend. $600 straight.

I'd love to see a few of the original Cougars return! My fave is my '87.

44:00 He did not include TWA and Eastern Airlines (Eddie Rickenbacker's airline) as two juggernauts that no one expected to ever disappear. As for Pan Am, it was so dominant that the space plane that went to the moon in "2001: A Space Odyssey" was Pan Am.

I'm grateful that my home state takes great care of the last Blockbuster! AVGN (The Angry Video Game Nerd) made a special video about it and even paid a visit to the store with some of his friends. They brought a portable DVD player, rented a movie and watched it together.
