    Placed an online order with Menard's... probably will never do that again.

    I placed an online order with Menard's, to buy an item that I've bought in my local store multiple times in the past. For whatever reason, at some point in time, they decided to not stock this item in any store within 75 miles of me... but they do still sell it online. Nor could I easily...

    Can we expect to see more salvage/rebuilt used cars in the future?

    What I'm seeing is about a ten-fold increase in manufacturer buy-back (lemon) cars on (new car) dealer's lots. Even here in IL, many of them are from California. Which is a double whammy. Not only is it a lemon, it has CA emissions.

    Rant: Used Flashlight and Amazon

    Don't call Amazon... use their online chat or take care of yourself on the website. Also, they'll print and mail you a label for $1.

    Could this be UHaul's plan for a bigger vehicle hauling trailer in 2025?

    The current U-Haul car hauler trailer is 2200+ pounds empty. The 2020 Honda CR-V has a curb weight ranging from 3,337 to 3,576 lbs, depending on trim. So yeah... 5000 pounds isn't enough, and they were correct to say "no". Seems like this only became an issue once we go to the point where...

    Advance Auto Parts to close 700+ stores.

    In my immediate area, there are 3 AAP's, and only one of them is worth keeping open. If you need a part, just assume to plan on going to that one store to get it, because unless it is a really common part, the other two simply won't stock it.

    Sumitomo just closed their Buffalo factory

    I survived the shutdown of a company facility. We were all herded into a conference room, told what was happening, and then had to sign for our severance package paperwork before being allowed to leave the conference room. When we got out of the conference room, the building was full of...

    Walgreens to shut 1,200 stores as CEO Wentworth seeks turnaround

    Could it also be that Walgreens stores in Chicago and Los Angeles and Seattle have been looted, robbed, and shoplifted from... over and over and over again? It's a guarantee that nearly all of those "unprofitable" stores will also be included in this list of 1200 stores. Buh bye.
