Ontrac They just got too big too fast. I've had probably 5 issues with them in the last 2 months. They are a delivery company that was California overnight. Great service and pricing. They decided to expand. They do not have the staff. If you call customer service you are looking at 45 min waiting time minimum. Packages delivered to wrong STATES with similar addresses.

Sports Authority was not able to successfully reorganize in bankruptcy, so it looks like they are going through with a sale of assets that will probably close all but a handful of stores, if not completely cease to exist shortly. http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/02/news/companies/sports-authority-sale-store-closings/

one of those assets is the naming rights to the Denver Broncos' home stadium. i hear a weed dispensary is interested in buying themquote:When the company was bought by a hedge fund 10 years ago, it was the nation's largest sporting goods retailer. But it has struggled with the debt load associated with a leveraged buyout.

Solice Kirsk posted:Really every city needs a version of Check, Please! like we have in Chicago. Its a public access show that gets a group of three normal people together and each of them picks one of their favorite restaurants and they each go there individually and review it in front of each other. I found and tried tons of restaurants from that show and have never really had a bad experience at any of them. An awesome idea for a show and a lot better than typing "Thai" into yelp. Or just ask someone on the street what their favorite whatever restaurant is. I do that a lot in a new city too. Necroquoting but my friends and I do this, with each other. Thus contributing to Yelp's demise (?)

I sent an email to Cabela's asking if they would be getting a couple newer Henry rifle models in stock in the near future and I got an unexpectedly snarky response about how they have no ability to predict future stock and would not be willing to speculate as to whether or not those models will ever be sold by the company. It was very strange.
