Radio Shack T&A trend

Has anyone noticed a trend toward the hiring of shapely young clerks who
haven't a clue about electronics? Not a lot of women do (beyond using
computers and cellphones), but some effort should be made at a store
dedicated to that stuff!

At two different Radio Shacks in central CA, a sales babe:

A) Didn't know what a UPS was, but managed to catch on when the words
uninterruptible and power supply were mentioned. Then showed a dismal
knowledge of what their one model actually did.

B) Couldn't guess what a photoelectric controlled LED nightlight night be.
Made a move toward the small parts drawers and had to be redirected. When
it was explained three times that it's not a battery-powered cupboard
light, rather one that plugs into a wall, she STILL didn't get it until a
point-by-point explanation was offered. But they didn't stock one anyhow.

Both were jiggly and nice to look at but it must be embarrassing to get
second-guessed by customers all day long.
