I made two trips to Radio Shack during my weekend adventure in home theater wiring.  The first was on Saturday morning to get more speaker wire.  I went to the local, Keller Radio Shack because it’s close and fairly convenient.  The problem was that they try way too hard to push you to buy other stuff.  To the point where I hate going there.  But, once again, the only reason I go there is because it’s close by.  If I’m not in a hurry, I’ll go somewhere else. 

This time, all I wanted was some speaker wire.  I checked the website and it showed it as being in stock.  First, the guy tried to mention that they had Monster wire, but I didn’t care about that.  Audiophiles may notice the difference, but Monster has always seemed overpriced for what you get.  Then, at checkout he tries to sell me batteries.  I’m used to this, because they do it all the time.  The problem was that this guy wouldn’t take “No” for an answer.  As far as I’m concerned, once I say “No” to an offer, that’s the end of it.

For my second trip, I checked the stock on the remote extender at the Watagua store since I was going to be in that area.  They were a lot less of a pain in the ass, so perhaps I’ll start using them more.  Still, I don’t go into a Radio Shack unless I’m in a hurry and don’t want to go all the way over to Fry’s.
