  1. Daniel, it not a crock. I honestly cannot figure out what the big deal is? If my memory served me correct. BPS online site, sales what in the warehouse in springfield, missiouri. Perhap the sales is slumping and the warehouse has piles of the crankin' stick so therefore they want to sale it out. Lets look at it from a buyers perspective. Lets say I notice the rod on sale for 39.99 online, but instore price is say 49.99. Just a 10.00 different correct? Now, lets say I could buy the rod online for 39.99 factor in my state tax, standard shipping, etc. It will probably come to approxitmatley 53.00 (I used my local sales tax, but I added 10.00 for oversize shipment of the rod, even though it may or may not be 10.00 for shipment, but bear with me here.) Now, that I paid 53.00 for a rod that was on sale for 39.99, we know it could take several days for it to arrived to my house. If it takes say errr (Depend if LBH is delievering it) 10 days to arrive. But behold a problem the rod is SNAPPED. So it may take 2-3 weeks or less depending on situation for a new rod is issued. All that hassle for a rod that cost 39.99. Meanwhile, I have a local basspro shop store where I can get it for 49.99 and pay grand total of 54.76 (using local sales tax in this calculation). I pay 1.76 more then the online total and I got the rod home immeditately wherefore it wasns't broken. Of course the gas cost I may burn 4 gallons of gas getting there and back. I feel I'm better off going to store buying it at that price rather then 10.00 cheaper. Or you could just re-read glenn's post. Also the online price is just to sale products to people who doesn't have a Bass pro in their area. If you still believe it a crock, then so be it. Just a thought ya know? P.S. Point of my post is to point out what some sales director will think about. Lot of marketing team and sales team will think like this. THey try to get the ones that want it to the most to pay higher price.
  2. I hate it. I work part-time at k-mart while I'm still in school. Last night customer were cussing me out for things I have nothing to do about. I hate people that are insane shoppers. Last night, the manager announced 4 time that store is closing. She would announce 15 til, 10 til, 5 til, and of course the actual closing hour. Well, usually on normal hour the lights will start going out on certain parts of store about 10-15 til. THey are automatic which means we cannot turned it off manually without having reset the entire system or something like that. Well since it holiday hours we have extended hours and last night as normal the manager announce all the notices that store closing, etc. Then she told us to clear out store check for customer assit them and lets get them out. I go toward christmas department and the lights goes off right at 12 am and exactly when manager announced k-mart is now closed. This evil evil lady was beating the wrapping paper on the shelf. I was like "ma'am...can I help you find anything? we have to close down the store." she replied "for starter you can turned on the *^)&^ lights so I can continue shopping." I thinking to myself "are you ^&*^& kidding me?" So, i calmy explain the lights are automatic and go off at this time every night and I cannot do anything about it. She finally grabs two wrapping paper and go to checkout where all employees are ready to leave, but it took 10 minute to ring her up, because she was complaining about the prices. Even though all price was correct.. > Oh, we also appearently stole some guys buggy, but that another store. The point of the latter store is do not leave your buggy unattended for longer then 3-5 minutes.
  3. The initial are pretty clever. Who cares. I thought we live in a country with freedom of whatever. The country full of hypocritic. That all I got to say.
  4. What if the kids are planting the drugs in their car?
  5. Muddy, you stole that joke you, mook!
  6. Get rid of the union and let the market speaks for itself.
  7. Muddy pretty much explained it. It like investor A B C were promised a huge return, and investor D money was used to pay back A B C. then when A B C re-invested it goes back to D. It basically exchanging money with investor A B C money went to X Y Z while X Y Z went back to A B C. And the manager that made the transaction got % of the performance. So instead of making real transaction with businesses, stocks, bonds, etc. I took your money gave it to muddy, and he re-invested then I took muddy money and gave it to you. Pretty crazy.
  8. i hate gammER with passion

  17. Why would they travel 2,000,000,000 light year just to stay here for 2 second? Don't make no darn sense.

  22. If we do that, then how will we study? We will spend to much time talking about things that keep us sane. Like girls, beer, fishing, and telling a funny true story that took place at a party one weekend when you wasn't studying.
  23. Ya man! One time, I was starring into the sky there was a giant sign just sitten in the air. It had yellow lights saying that I was going to have a good year! It turned out to be a horrible year, freaking aliens what do they know?

  25. Dude, I'm sitten here sick in my stomach, my eyes are weary, my beard is getting ugly, and I'm freezing. I got finish up all my corrections and finalize all my documents for comp 1. at 12 noon!!! Freaking sucks, man! I just wish I could be train in Accounting, be taught about finance, business, economic, etc and be done with it. Why should I have to take all these B.S. classes again? Other majors doesn't even required a single business class, but yet we got to take their classes.
