I heard some talking-head financial analyst say that signing up for any store rewards programs are ALWAYS a bad idea--even if one spends a lot over the course of a year. I think the worst part is the deception behind it all, and the sales-staff that are 'encouraged' to dupe the customers. Well, that and the crappy stock: My local Blockbuster doesn't carry Kneebone on Blu-Ray. <br /><br />I also enjoy following you on twitter, by the way. Happy New Year to you and your family.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />~Quinn (AKA ReelQuinn)<br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191254.post-37119093770323657002009-09-16T20:59:28.910-07:002009-09-16T20:59:28.910-07:00That just doesn't seem heroic or satisfying to...That just doesn't seem heroic or satisfying to me.

Occasionally someone will spend that in one transaction. But instead of just having a sign pointing that out, we've got a slightly skeezy video asking us to disapprove passive-aggressively at our customers as though they've just told us they were all going to ride home in the back of a stranger's pickup truck together. It is not in itself a bad deal, but the approach seems to drive more intelligent customers away, and at a bookshop, that's kind of vital. And half of everyone thinks it's a credit card, anyway. Too much time spent at Target.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191254.post-44875921270632625462009-08-19T23:56:26.284-07:002009-08-19T23:56:26.284-07:00Hero!Hero!Tina Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982100203591837083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191254.post-91186038968629349522009-08-17T22:03:18.131-07:002009-08-17T22:03:18.131-07:00I rented Kneehaver.

It gets business from late November thru early March from late Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. How can a business like that last?Sorniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057350597607764166noreply@blogger.com
