If you MUST shop at Radio Shack, the best thing do do is avoid the sales people
(if that's possible, considering the way they come charging out at you) and
try to find what you're looking for on your own. Its faster, and much less 
agrivating. 

Usually, the best way to get the parts you want is by mail order, its generally
a lot cheaper (everything isn't indivually wraped), and you have a much better 
chance of finding what you're looking for.
