I've been dealing with Radio Shack for many years.  It is about the only
game in town, here, and if you only want a couple of 1/4 watt resistors you
do not particularly want to order from DigiKey.  And also, sometimes you
are in a hurry.  Some of the people I've met are very knowledgeable (most
of the knowledgeable ones are hams, for whatever that may be worth) and
some are not.   One of the managers is a friend of mine, and he says that
they would absolutely love to hire talented, knowledgeable experts if they
could find them for what they can pay.  But they kind of have to take what
they can get.
