Re: Dollar Tree To Raise Prices To $7

In other words, why not just rename it Walmart Express?

Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket

My issue is that app orders are often screwed up. And the restaurant staff is either unable or unwilling to fix it. I've challenged many app charges on my credit card successfully so at least we have that recourse.

Re: Target Rolls 10 item "Express Self Checkout" Nationwide

I often checkout at Target using the rarely used Snack Bar self checkout machine. I have had people.give me nasty stares for doing so but there's nothing wrong with it.

Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket

If restaurants are going to push the app so hard, they need a separate line for it. I shouldn't have to wait in the drive thru line behind everyone else. And most of the time, the designated pick up spots aren't much better since you are waiting for an employee to get free to deliver your order to y...

Re: Dick's Sporting Goods best quarter ever

The one thing I find odd at Dick's is that they remove all their clearance merchandise, which I assume goes to their clearance stores. So after the season, there are few deals to be found. While I think that it's smart not to have clearance merchandise competing with full price merchandising, for us...

I thought cursive was taught around 2nd or 3rd grade. Totally agree. Same for the Gap and Banana Republic items sold at Costco and Sam's. Total ga...

Re: Whole Foods To Open 7,000 Square Foot Stores
