That's everyone, not just men. That's how I judge when it's time to replace my pillow, when there's more yucky brownish color than original white fabric. It's usually once a year.

definitely not just the online bit. Quilters & knitters usually want to touch the fibery objects and the stores have a lot of in-person shopping, but there are ones, like Knit-Picks and Missouri Star Quilt Company, that have a very large online presence.

Excellent recap! People come last in this capitalistic oligarchy where money talks and citizens get a stick up their ass.

Sp the did buybacks on stock and now the stock is worthless. At least they managed to hurt thousands and thousands of employees.

The standard line of bullshit is that corporations can’t help themselves; they are legally required to place shareholders profits ahead of anything else. But one might very easily argue that the long-term viability of a company should be #1 in their priority list, which would ensure their shareholders’ continued receipt of benefits.

Sorry…just had a silly moment there.

It could be a fucking huge percentage of profit and they would still make less than they are now.

I had no clue you could use as many 20% coupons as you had items, I thought it was like Michaels where it's one item per purchase because they hope to tempt you into buying a big ticket item while you're getting that one extra skein of yarn to finish a project.

There was a nice lady with a big stack of them, handing them out to anyone who was under supplied.

So, $1.6 billion spent on stock that's now worthless because they spent $1.6 billion on stock. Business. How even does it work?

The Bed Bath and Beyonce near me is a ghost town. The shelves are bare and there are no shoppers.

You can put forward any insane plan to your upper management, as long as it contains a few clauses which contain "fewer employees*," or "lower overhead'... Piece o' cake.*It would probably be expressed as "less employees," which would be correct in spirit, but, Ptui'!!

Unlike Lechter's or Linens 'N Things (a.k.a. Sheets and Stuff) I'll actually miss BB&B. There was a really good chance I could find the tablewares or small appliances I was looking for at one of their locations. It helps that I have a thing for basic white ceramic dinnerware.
