A serious lack of people skills at Radio Shack

The company announced Aug. 10 that it would cut 400 to 450 jobs, mostly at headquarters, to cut expenses and "improve its long-term competitive position in the marketplace." RadioShack has closed nearly 500 stores, consolidated distribution centers and liquidated slow- moving merchandise in an effort to shake out of a sales slump.
Anyone so obtuse as to fire 400 employees via email would of course miss the most probable cause of their financial woes: people are not anxious to shop at a place where you have to endure interrogation to make a simple cash purchase.

None so exotic that I can't get them somewhere else.
