"I was looking for a printer, but 10% off -- I can do better online," said Alan Silverman, 61, at the L.A. Circuit City store. "It's not like I expect them to give it away, but I would expect to see more attractive prices that are competitive."So now people are entitled to low prices? Good grief. One of the liquidating firm's CEO said it well:
"Customers who say 10% isn't enough for me, they're free to walk out and come back when the discounts are greater," he said. "If they're lucky, the merchandise will still be there."2. The LA Times says there were "cracks" in the farewell to George Bush yesterday:
On the drive to Capitol Hill, the current and future presidents passed protesters carrying signs reading "Arrest Bush." When Bush entered the grandstand with the band playing "Hail to the Chief" for the last time, the crowd below began singing a different refrain: "Hey, Hey, Good-bye." One man waved his shoe.Those aren't "cracks." That's just "lack of class."
3. The "Ultra-Realistic Sculpture" exhibit at A&M's Stark Gallery is pretty neat.
I thought the singing of that was pretty low class, very telling IMHO.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch or participate in anticipation of having to watch just that sort of thing. Oh and clearly that guy didn't go to linens and things during their sale, because it took them a while to cut down prices and even when they did, they raised the base price so you didn't save all that much. -Amanda
ReplyDeleteI too was sad to hear that people were saying and singing those things to George Bush. I thought he showed nothing but class the whole transition and the day of the inauguration and he deserved everyone's respect.
ReplyDeleteThey should have been chanting at the people who screwed up Tyler's purple gate!
