I think the Kartrashians are more plastic than human.

Agree. However, until this monopoly is busted up in the USA, it will remain THE ticket provider. The way their contracts work with all the major arenas, any concert held in one must go through ticketmaster.

that's because they own almost everything

First thing I uninstall on every new laptop.

Where to even begin with Wells Fargo? At least you'll be robbed sans the shotgun and cowboy costume...

Their business model works for so many MLMs. The customers are all the poor people that have been hoodwinked into buying a starter kit as their first step on the road to success. Makes me so angry.

Someone once was explaining to me how the cryptocurrency market was changing. I had no idea what they were talking about but it came off a bit coin descending

There was a place like this in my hometown that had a clearance sale because it was going out of business (opheffingsuitverkoop in Dutch) for over 25 years. I was shocked to find out it finally closed for good about six months ago.

Kirby is still a phenomenal vacuum!

Can't be a Kirby hoover, Hoover is a different company

Shows just how well a brand has made its way into a term. Hoover is a Company as is Kirby. Just that Hoover is now what we generally call a vacuum cleaner.

Same as several others here - I worked selling Kirby's back in the early '90's - left after two weeks due to the shady practices of the "franchisee" that I worked for. That said, my mum loved her Kirby's, and I still have the last one she bought back in 1995, and it is still working perfectly. Sadly, I don't use it anymore, as it is too heavy to carry up and down stairs.

No better Vac on the market.

I sold Kirby vacuums for 3 days. It was the sketchiest thing I've ever been part of. The owner set me up on a "guaranteed sale" for my first demo: a 98 year old man and his 93 year old wife who had 3 older Kirby vacuums in the closet and a new one just like I was demoing... They did not know what was going on but they were happy to talk. And the morality of the team went down from there. Oh, and it was 2003, and we sold them for $2000 and with handy 20% financing. You got $500 if you sold one, the owner got $700, and they were pure evil.

Local Kirby team recently came through my area. First - they went out and had dinner at a popular place where everyone could clearly hear them talking about which customers were the most vulnerable. They also would run around until 9:00, exhausted mothers of infants were especially pleased with the unexpected visitors waking up their children. A friend of mine finally screamed at one...do you think there would be three adults here in the middle of the afternoon and a leaky roof if we could afford a vacuum like this?! I got my Kirby for $30 at an auction sale. The other vacuum I own is a run of the mill average vacuum that gets the job done wonderfully.

Kirby is one of the best vacuums ever produced! And with a lifetime guarantee!

They already know who's gonna arrive and when so they plan accordingly

I'm starting to think that malls themselves are just fronts for money laundering. Who the hell needs Lenscrafters, knockoff "Oriental" furniture, Persion rugs, a phone case that says "It's Wine O'clock," and a churro? And if you do, I know just the place...lol

If someone from my school was worth talking to after school, I'd still have their contacts

There are three reasons that Arizona Iced Tea has remained at 99c. 1). Production. They use about 1/2 the aluminum of regular cans, and their production facilities run at twice the rate of other companies. 2). They ship their product late at night, to avoid traffic jams, and slow downs, and their trucks are also lighter, equaling less fuel consumption. 3). No advertising campaigns, or celebrities endorsement. They rely on word of mouth, and product placement in gas stations, and other stores.

Burlington... along with other stores like Ross or Marshalls are called off price market. What that means is any product that couldn't be sold to any traditional retailers from Wal-Mart on up get off loaded to these stores. It's kinda a last stop for clothing. I only know this because I work in clothing manufacturing and Burlington is one of our customers!

🤢🤮

The fruit is mostly inedible.

I still use my aol email from a quarter century ago. I'm adjusted to it and I'd have to change so many things at this point.

One of my friend's son works at Kohls. He says this is one of the reasons he likes it. It's an easy retail job, barely any interaction with customers, and most of those are usually there to return Amazon purchases. The only drawback being he is almost 100% certain that one day he's going to show up for work & the store will be shuttered and abandoned.

Most of them have closed down in my area, but yeah, I remember going in one right before it closed for good, and I swear when I walked through the doors I heard a coyote howl. It was that depressing.

Long before "payday loans" there were "friendly loan companies" on every corner that served as financial institutions for people who could not get a loan from a bank. My economics teacher explained that the loan companies got their operating capital from the same banks that refused to work with the people who wound up borrowing from loan companies. It was a simple way for banks to reduce their risks and still get a piece of the high risk loan business. I suspect these payday companies are linked to big banks the same way, which would explain why they are immune to regulation.

Money laundry?

As per my comment for Herbalife, all MLMs make their money by hoodwinking people into buying starter kits as their first step on the road to success. They do not make their money from selling their products to genuine customers.

don't s**t on Chuck E. Cheese... they are a customer for the company I work for and they pay on time!

Pyramid scheme.

I noticed it's more 'magazine' sized and had content other than TV listings, I guess it's geared now to readers who use it more than for just TV listings. I rememeber the TV commercials for it .....and I think last one I was was probably 20 years ago.

I think most of them just have the dvd's, but they are open because people are buying sex toys and supplements that suggest you will be a monster in bed

Their CEO recently did an interview with a major national news organization. The reporter took a basic Uber from his hotel to the Uber office (5 miles). The reporter asked the CEO to estimate his Uber trip cost. The damn CEO guessed ~$25 for a non surge time. The reporter told him he was wrong. The trip cost ~$75 (without a tip). The CEO responded with "wow, really?"

I still use a Yahoo email account made in the '90s.

Five things worth watching? There are many series and documentary films worth watching on there.
