I wish a few of you had worked in local stores here. I think the main qualification for hiring was if the person could spell their own name.

My favorite RS story: I was shopping for an indoor/outdoor memory thermometer and saw RS carried one. These worked with a sensor on a wire to be placed outdoors while the base unit included a sensor for indoor temperatures. There were a few in a display case but when the sales person took out the demo (batteries installed) I noted the indoor temp reading was different from the outdoor reading, even though the outdoor sensor was placed along side the base unit. I said I didn't want that particular one since it was obviously malfunctioning. The salesperson then tried to convince me why it was accurate for a couple of minutes before relenting and providing another one. That one gave the same reading under the same conditions.
