As if I would actually pay for an app that would enable me to purchase your s*** and make placing the order a bigger pain in the ass.

I got a call today that said, Steve. My name is not Steve. The women said she had the correct number, I told her, I have had this number for 20 years. AND I’M NOT STEVE

She said, well maybe you can help me.   CLICK

I've had similar called before! Actually it's probably pretty clever the first time. Well clever enough to fool anhonest-to-god sucker but still something different.

Or she might have just had us confused. Hahaha

Shipping and handling sometimes in the top three in profitability in these types of import/export businesses....... sounds like that Seinfeld episode.

Can you imagine making a living doing that kind of thing ?  Often from a high rise building and never see or touch the merchandise.   

Now on the internet or mass mailing stuff.  Far out.

Exactly. Now that Amazon has so many distribution centers it's a little bit different but I remember when the big shift came in music retail. X Y or Z online music store would just have the s*** drop shipped from the manufacturer. Your sales guy like you said was probably in an office building somewhere with Nary a guitar Within Reach. I buy a lot of stuff from Sweetwater and they have a huge distribution center in Indiana. Stuff gets here pretty damn quick. But they do drop ship as well.

Here's one. You can have a second item free just pay separate shipping and handling. Which is likely more than the piece of shit costs them in the first place..

I hate those. "auto renewal". deals that I have never, ever signed up for and never will....... but still show up.

And I'm glad more stores will be. CLOSED. for Thanksgiving.......I hope Christmas ? is next !

Frankly I don't care. In my experience the people who bitched the loudest about it either A don't go to their families house anyway or B fight with them when they get there.

Hey, if something is “free” why do you need my credit card info

Hey if it's not on the day after Thanksgiving it's not a Black Friday sale. STFU.

Hey BOGO means buy one and get one. Not buy one and get one half price or some BS like that.

Hey no payments for one year means by the time you start paying for that piece of crap it's going to be a year old and you'll be tired of it.

Hey cancel anytime is always going to be a pain in the ass.

Hey you can bet your ass that you are going to forget those gift cards.

Hey banning outside food or beverage from a movie theater has absolutely nothing to do with the safety of our patrons.

What else ya got?

Hey if you think that "You won!" emails are a scam.........................................you would be right.
