How about finding a company that is big enough to have it's own internal training section? Maybe one were you learn and or implement a technology and then teach other employees about it.
That's actually why I stopped going to Blockbuster -- it wasn't because of Netflix. It was because every time I went in there they pestered me to sign up for stuff and wouldn't leave me alone while I looked for a movie.
I think convenience is the one thing brick and mortar stores have going for them. I sometimes buy things at the local gas station. They are more expensive there, but they are a lot more convenient.
I worked at RadioShack around the turn of the century. IMHO back then they had poor management at the cooperate level. Inside of listening to the stores and stocking things the customers were asking for (like blank CDs) they chose to stock things no one wanted (and overcharged for it). They claimed there higher prices were because they had better trained employees. The employees didn't see that money. And the training program was a joke. Every employee had to take about 15 multiple choice tests. But every store had cheat sheets and no one really learned anything.
At one point their managers filed a class action lawsuit against them. Some of the executives had to give dispositions and they were posted online. After reading them I could tell that either they had no idea how things worked in the store or they were lying though their teeth.
Around the time I left they had started putting part in "bins". And they started sending in secret shoppers. If an employee didn't ask every customer about a cell phone AND a satellite dish they were fired. Even before that turnover was like a fast food place.

First time I tried to use Windows 8 neither me nor my boss could figure out how to shut it down. WinXP is still better than 8 IMHO.

Wonder if I can train my dog to tell me when the batteries in my remote are low
Kind of like how managers think you can just throw a few more programmers on a project and get it done on time...
Felix: Gil I'm afraid I've fallen and injured myself. Can you call 911?
Gil: Of course. I'll just use my cell phone. Oh, wait. That's right. Without coal, the cell towers don't have power.
Felix: We'll take my Telsa then. Can you drive it?
Gil: Of course. Oh dear. The batteries are dead. And without coal there's no power to charge it.
Felix: Hmmm...I'm not feeling well. Can we try your solar powered car?
Gil: Sorry, too cloudy, it won't even start.
Felix: Smoke signals?
Gil: I'll just carry you to the hospital.
Felix: I guess that will have to do.
Gil: Of course, once we get there the hospital won't have power because there's no coal.
Felix: I'm beginning to re-think my life choices...

A while back RadioShack would threaten to fire employees that didn't get enough names and addresses.
They probably had them, the employees just didn't know it. You have to find the catalog number and tell it to them.
