It looks like RadioShack is next to go under. Really sad. 4,300 U.S. stores and 30,000 employees.

On the subject of Wal-Mart. I'll continue to patronage my local K Mart, RadioShack, and last but certainly not least COSTCO!!!

My wife and I even buy all our gas at Costco. GameStop will be joining Costco this year and will be closed on Thanksgiving. Costco said its employees "deserve the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with their families." Hopefully Coscto's business model of high wages and excellent benefits will catch on as well.

Costco pays its hourly workers an average of $20.89
