Goth doesn't always mean hot.  In fact, they're teh exception not the rule.  She was a nice enough gal for a biggun.

Hot or not.  It's a fringie female working at Radio Shack!  That's like finding a snipe and a wumpus being eaten by a grue in a brightly lit room.

Down in this part of the south if there is a cash register involved in the store you can guarantee the workforce is 70% female or better.  At the home depot by my house it's probably like 90% on the floor staff.  I went to the welder today to pick up a frame for my Starfighter build and there was a chick working the main office there.  It's probably different else where but in the poor south the ladies be working.

Nah man.... we have ladies working in every retail position imaginable here as well... except Radio Shack.  I think the pure testosterone of all those overpriced electronic components scares them away.  ;)

Funny but just the other day I was rung up by a young, female employee at Radio Shack - and I did find that odd. That was once out of the hundreds of times I'm usually greeted by a male employee more interested in selling me a phone I do not need than any actual help with electronic components (or even letting me leave without a new phone).

Well that is odd.  Maybe it's part of their new re-branding or something.  As much as I enjoy sweaty dudes trying to sell me crap I don't need I've got to admit, less sweaty ladies might have a better chance of suckering me into buying something.  ;)

She ain't a lady unless she's 280.

HAHAHA.


Also, I went into Radio shack to pick up some hum drum wire, chick rang me up. Kinda cute, very flirty. I guess that's RatShack's new scheme, get the girls to flirt with the nerds so they buy more ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---?

I went into Radio Shack and this cute young girl asked for what I was looking for and I asked her to find me a clover to AC adaptor for my laptop charger.

After looking at her online terminal she couldn't find it, so I went on walkabout around the store and found the cable I needed.

"Oh you wanted a MickeyMouse Cable" she says.

WTF is a MickeyMouse Cable?   ::)


Kids and their terminology......

I've been out of the game for a while, but a Mickey Mouse cable is that generic cable that connects from the battery charge adapter on a laptop and the wall outlet.  It's called that because of the three round connection posts the resemble Mickey Mouse's head.

It's the cell phone side that's brought the female sales force to the rat shack.  If it was just the component bins, cables, janky hifi gear and even jankier rc toys, it would still be Comic Book Guy all the way.

Gee, here I was thinking that it was the "I want to make a little bit of money but am not really qualified to do much more than retail.  Radio Shack is near my house."

Yep - even Jameco Electronics calls them that -- though I'm sure Radio Shack had a much better Price on it  :laugh2: :laugh2:

I kind of wish it would seamlessly loop so Sofia Vergara turned back into Emma Watson.

Oh internet, thanks for being so weird!

It's a Rorschach test -- some people see a 3-leaf clover, some see Mickey.

Not sure which answer = you're crazy.   :lol
