Companies That You Cant Believe Are Still In Business

Honestly. 100% srs. How the fk they managed to live past the first few years is beyond me.

Original Macintosh's.

Brb 1 button mouse. 'Innovation'
Brb cannot be upgraded. 'Innovation'
Brb hardly any software support. No games. 'Innovation'
Brb monitor attached the the system. 'Innovation'
Brb more expensive than every other computer system at the time.

Brb Ipods literally 2x price of any other mp3 player with half the storage space. Must be synced to iTunes to copy music over, may only work on the computer it is synced to. 'Innovation'

I will admit that recently the Iphone has been VERY innovative and a great product. As I said however, their first few years were beyond terrible.

Apple. How the fuk do they convince people who can barely afford food to buy $2000 dollar laptops and iphones that cost $200 and then $30+ more every month?

I go to CC and the people are poor as fuk, yet they always have apple products.


I have a $7/month tracfone.

lulz I agree, I have a tracfone myself. Had it for a few years now and I love it.

These, especially Dodge. My mom has a Dodge Caliber that she bought with 10k miles on it, and a year later she had to have something replaced in the engine because it was a dealer only part and spent like $700 on it. She's had like 3 or 4 issues with the car a year after she bought it. Would never buy Dodge, or anything American except for Ford (which was always reliable to me, and they didn't take any bailout money either).

Also this, although I'd put Smiths in the same basket as them.

onion article about Radio Shack. lulz

[hfinmyblood]

believe it or not, this is a high class store in Mexico lol

[Chris Partlow]

I love Quiznos, but every time I find a store close to where I live, it closes within a month of me going there.

This. There was a Quiznos 1/8 mile from my school that went out of business. Meanwhile there are 3 subways

Advance auto parts
Website but cdbaby

advanced auto parts is only expanding. no sense of downfall. why would you think that?

[unleashed132]

[Frenzy1]

Does anyone ever go in there? Really?

Radio shack, although I do like one of their employees
He helped me open my xbox 360 controller to clean it
Just in case i couldn't fix it, I bought a new one(and would return if the cleaned controller worked)
The employee then told me to buy the extended warranty,he wouldnt enter the controller Id into the system, and return the broken controller in a few months

[mybody001]

can't think of a scam bigger than the bbb.

[Glitch]

little word of advice for everyone in this thread about radioshack.

they offer cell phones for cheaper than the own cellular service providers.

you will find phones for att, verizon, sprint, etc for cheaper at a radioshack than you will at the corporate stores.



this is what keeps radioshack in business.

First few years or decades lol. In my opinion, since the first intel imac everyone of their products has been superb. So what their products are priced higher? They came up with a business strategy and it worked.

Why anybody eats the sad excuse for pizza from this place is beyond me.

[deadfingers]

lulz I remember buying a few things from that place. They were incredibly expensive. I remember CDs being like $20-25 when you could go to walmart and get it for like $12 or less. I'd go there when I wanted to find some really unique things, even then they sucked. We had one in the mall back home, and it's not there anymore, along with the Radio Shack that used to be there. Honestly I'm not sure how any CD/DVD store can stay in business long, almost everything can be bought online these days.

[AndrewChan]

what happened to these guys? they were at the forefront of internet dial up and then just let everyone else eat them up

Food is tErrible and they are actually hurting business wise.

Olive garden is fukking amazing dude, maybe not to some people (real italians+people who know people who can cook) ut for people like me whose culinary skills end at grilled hot dogs and whose parents were never good at cooking, olive garden is like fukking sex with a 10/10 in my mouth.

also idk how they could possibly be hurting unless they mismanage their money, because every olive garden is always packed out for dinner weekdays and weekends and it ain't that cheap.

My 75 year old grandparents still use AOL's overpriced ****ty 56k internet service.

Well if thats the way you put it then it does make sense, but the key word is marketing.. just look at the new samsung galaxy s2 commercials, it's better and offers more but you know what? it really doesn't matter because of the massive following they have.

Why don't you be a good grandson and help them switch to fiber optics or would that be too fast for them? seizures!
