- I've just read this thread containing 50+ complaints about Radio Shack.
- What I would like to know is: Why do we have to shop at RS to get
- electronic supplies? Why aren't there other electronic stores in
- competition with RS? Well, maybe there are in your area (let me know)
- but where I live they are the only thing going. And boy is that ever
- frustrating! Aren't there laws about monopolies? Aren't we living under
- a competitive free-market economy where stores that customers do not like
- to go to will be competed with by other stores? Isn't that the way it's
- supposed to work? I mean, RS does seem to usually have what I am looking
- for, but I still would like the option at least to do business elsewhere.
- You know, like maybe an electronics store where the salesmen know what
- they are talking about...
