Why is it that some Radio Shacks have only 1 or 2 scanners, and others have about 8 on display? Is it based on previous sales data or is it just the manager's discretion? I went in one last night that had a Pro-197 on display, poorly programmed, no alpha tags, lots of distortion, etc. That is no way to sell a scanner. I've been in stores before that have several good models on display with one fully programmed to the hilt for our area and being broadcast on an external speaker throughout the store. I think that is the way to make a positive sales impression and possibly consider someone to pull the trigger and buy it.
And please don't go off on the Shack's strategy on cell phones, etc. as I already know that. I'm just asking about scanners only per the second sentence above...
