RadioShack

Overpriced. I knew that I’d be paying more then I had to before running into here one Saturday morning to pick up a simple cable, but honestly, I never expected these kinds of markups in my wildest nightmares.
I needed a cable to extend a headphone cord in a hurry for a road trip I was taking later that day. You think given the size of the store that I could find the cable I was looking for in under 30 seconds, but it took a good 5 minutes of browsing to locate it. No price on either the package or the peg, but having purchased one of these before for about $ 2, I figured it could be all that much more. Got up to the register, where I waited for the two cashiers (nether of whom asked if I needed help while frantically looking around) to finish their conversation. Scanned the item, and gave me my total of $ 18. For those of you not mathematically inclined, thats 900% over what the cable should have gone for. Didn’t have much of a choice as I was in a bind, so I paid the premium and headed out. Wasn’t even offered a bag for it, which you think is the least they could do.
My suggestion? Order online or drive a few miles further to a larger and cheaper store. Even if you’re only buying a cable, the shipping /​gas will more than make up for it.
