Okay, I am done with RadioShack forever

I wander into my local RadioShack for a simple RCA to S-Video adapter (or SVHS). After looking around, I ask the lady and she finds one for me. It looks unimpressive enough. I ponder a cable to plugin to it, since the original one being replaced was male to female and this was female to female. She starts to grab one of those expensive monster cable sets, but I waive her off.

I proceed to buy the adapter, at which point she rings it up… It was almost $25! No kidding. I said no thanks. Visibly annoyed, she canceled the order and I walked out, never to return.

Years ago I recall I ordered cables with success from CCT. Sure enough, they have what I need for about $1.77. Yes, more than $20 less than RadioShack. Same part.

RadioShack is a failure.
