On the one hand, indeed props to him for doing what he is doing. It is a very good thing. On the other hand, that stuff about “bringing your A game” at Radio Shack; did anyone there actually ever do that? ---

I know of a rural pharmacy that has a Radio Shack kiosk (this store also sells locally made jewelry on consignment) and a local independent hardware store does this as well. ---
