Radio Shack?

I can't believe the looks I get lately when I want an electronic part
from Radio Shack. A few weeks ago I wanted a prox switch. The counter on
my tread mill failed. The spinning magnet on the pulley swithes the prox
switch to step the counter and timer. I think they thought I was
building a bomb. The store clerk didn't know what the hell I was talking
about. Just the other day I walked in and ask to see the muffin fans and
two clerks jaws dropped to the floor. The didn't have a clue what I was
talking about; never heard that name before? I can't believe how stupid
these people are getting.
