I still remember standing out in front of Circuit City back in 2006!! All night on Black Friday for a deal on a laptop, and the first two guys in line were drunk and walking up and down the line saying hello to everyone with Bud Lite in their hands - good times ☺️

Medical IT here. Washable keyboards were a big deal during Covid. Also helps with extending their life of them in the gross room, where they use Dremel tools to cut open things like kneecaps while you install updates next to them.

There are some small electronics stores around where I live that use to be Radioshack stores that continue to have Radioshack on their signs. Let me clarify, these stores were essentially Mom and Pop stores that were partnered with Radioshack

😂😂😂😂 sent him the wrong products then was like 'SUCK IT NERD!!! BRO I LAFFED EXTREMELY Oh my😂😂😂😂😂

[shawnhoyer]

RadioShack did not go out of business. They just closed all their corporate stores. Franchise owners stayed open.

The washable keyboard is legit; we use them at the hospital and they're great. There's even a washable mouse! I mean yes, they're membrane, but you can wash all the nasty junk that accumulates from your co-workers out of your keyboard. The bleach wipes used to clean workstations leaves a fibrous residue, but washing it takes that away. I usually just wash it in the sink

7:14 The WASD on the arrow keys is so when you wear the legend off the WASD you can swap them out with the arrow keys and have the legend back.

I worked at FYE for 4 years, ending my prison sentence there early this year around June. I never thought I would work a job that would make me want to wipe my existence off the face of the planet, and yet I did. For 4 years. I beg all of you to not give them a single cent of yours lmao and avoid their VIP and magazine programs at all costs.

As a former Circuit City employee of over 8 years, the thumbnail made me cry. Thanks guys.

My local FYE somehow is still holding on but they have majorly downside from having CDs and DVDs to selling candy, trinkets and stuffed animals. It's just a matter of time before they will be gone forever due to how we get our entertainment.

[mushieslushie]

I applied to work at a Radio Shack once, didn't hear back from them. The last thing I bought at Circuit City was a stack of blank CDs and I think I still have most of them unused. I don't even have a CD/DVD drive in any PC I own anymore.

If you pause the video at 5:41 you can see the crappy Radio Shack tablet is $98.99 it says 4 payments of $24.75 through zip but the delivery thing is definitely a scam

[PennyTheLion]

no channel of this size has this level of production quality

I used to work in a RadioShack for a few years. Always had a lady come in solo looking for a particular battery. Each time I would ask her what it was for, she refused to tell me every time. Last time I saw her, she came in with a guy and never saw her again. Good for her I said in my head! 👍 Another time, I helped a different lady with a Zoombak GPS tracker and voice recorder, she came back and just screamed, "I caught the son of a B with his coworker!" She thanked me and went about her day. I enjoyed working there and met interesting people with unique issues. Hated pitching RSSPs though.

12:20 "bio juice" should be banned from our language lmao

[paspeedtestingadventures]

I actually live 15 minutes away from a privately owned RadioShack Location in New Holland, PA. It’s a neat little store and somehow was the only place in the area selling a DisplayPort to mini DisplayPort cable.

[Kellythelegend]

I had to make sure i was not having a stroke when i read Circuit city 🤣. ( low key was better than best buy tbh)

[frozedokkanbattle]

Got to say this channel has definitely convinced me to buy some of these items like the ONN brand charger pad for your iPhone and Apple Watch definitely needed it and onn brand at Walmart isn’t to bad honestly if you don’t have tons of money onn brand isn’t a bad option. Love the channel guys

[EisOfSpades]

Surprisingly, there is still a radio shack 15 minutes from me. I have no idea how they are still open even though they are independently owned, but glad they are still kicking

[TheFreakazoid]

0:07 To be correct, there IS a Radio Shack in a town called Derby, KS and DOES still sell stuff.
