What Happened to Walmart? They must hace changed their business model. They used to be the least expensive store...period. Then they started advertising like crazy, TV, flyers (on super nice glossy paper), probably radio. I imagine they were trying to reach the Nouveau poor. I think they already had the old-school poor and the cheap SOB's like me. Well as far as I am concerned, they better go back to just cheap prices, because once Daddy gets a job again, the suburban housewife that was 'forced' to shop at Walmart is now going back to her gourmet stores. Meanwhile, the tried and true (now discouraged Walmart shoppers) that noticed the price increases and volume reductions, have been price shopping and will not assume as they did in the past that Walmart will have not only the lowest price, but significantly lower price. Oh, and what's up with the ordering/stocking? And they are considering drive-thru's. Ha! Free Communication Weekend at Eharmony They forgot to mention it's Free Canned Response Communication Weekend. If you actually want to communicate you must join. Big shock there, right? Oh and just to set the record straight...a friend told me about the Eharmony thing. Independence Day Drink Specials Seems that some of this 'talk' about curbing drunk driving is just that...'talk'. I'm visiting a friend in Phoenix AZ over the Fourth of July weekend. We decide to check out some local bars. Knowing that a few drinks can put you over the legal limit, I decide to hold off on the first couple drinks and order coffee instead. Well, the bartender at 'Hudsons' informs me that they do not have coffee, and she does not offer to make any or even suggest a non-alcoholic alternative when I told her I was a designated driver (albeit temporary). This was astonishing to me as a newly enlisted designated driver. I had alway heard stories that sounded similar to some kind of super hero, dynamic duo 'local authorities and local establishments team together to fight DUI'. Turns out after a few more bars that I would have been better off with the bar that didn't serve coffee to designated drivers. Several other bars actually had the nerve to charge me for coffee. The first was a bar called 'Spuds'. They charged me $0.50. Not too bad right? Later come to find that the first cup only comes with one free refill. What?! We didn't stick around long enough to find out what the cost would be beyond that. They probably would have thrown me out for not drinking alcohol. It gets even better. The next bar called 'Bullocks' charged me $2.00 for coffee as a designated driver. So in the end, it's all about money. Bars claim to care about their customers. Police and Sherrif claim to care about the citizens. So they boast on the local news after the weekend about how many DUI arrests they made. How about trying to prevent them in the first place. |
