I was working there during that time and it was awful. No one with any interest in electronics ever came in. Just the thirteenth person of the day asking for an HDMI cable for their phone which like 3 phones supported at the time. Why did everyone want that feature? I’ve never met a person who actually used that setup.

That was me. I remember asking about phone HDMI cables in a RadioShack as a teen.

I wanted to Bluetooth a controller to my phone and plug my phone into my tv and play some emulators.

I never did manage to do either with my phone back then. I can do it now, but I never play games on my phone lol.

Lol I just remember trying to sling the Samsung Instinct, was laggy and pretty awful to use, but the best we had comparable to the "buttery smooth" iphone. Those were tough days.
