Pope Corky the IX posted:Well now I know what happened to Payless. I couldn't believe they were going out of business, every location I've ever seen was always crowded with people buying two or three pairs of shoes at a time. And they were all set to make it up on volume

Pope Corky the IX posted:It's especially a shame for lower-income families with more than one kid. Payless constantly had buy one/get one free or 50% off or whatever, so you could get all the shoes they'd need for the next year for cheap. They had BOGO looong before this screw up. I remember those ads from when I was a kid and only wanted one expensive set of sneakers that could get wrecked and not fit and not look good for dress as long as they had athlete name* so Payless never appealed to me * and that name was Jordan

Apparently every time they juuuust made enough to stay solvent

Admiral Joeslop posted:The local chain also has a "Royal Suite" where you can order food and beer delivered right to your chair, which sounds godawful for actually watching a movie. Supposedly you can buy a beer at their bar and take it into any of the theaters but I haven't bothered. You won’t be happy until you can smell other goon’s feces and urine while trying to watch a movie? I think this is kind of an edge case I mean I glanced and saw 2L and thought yeah they should definitely have the option for 40s instead of an open glass of ill smelling drink but you’ve taken it too far

Otherwise I couldn't get across our hellscape flyover states because I'm bi-coastal baby. Just die at home, everyone else is.

there wolf posted:Because she loves books and wants into the prestigious Arlen book club, Peggy opens a bookstore. When business is slow, she rents the back out to Dale and the gun club to sell guns out of, but only as long as customers buy a book along with every gun purchase. In usual King of the Hill fashion, after selling out her principles for the appearance of success, Peggy gets into the snooty book club only to realize it's not what she wants because they don't actually care about books. She closes the bookstore putting an end to Dale's business as well, but some of the gun club members ended up reading and liking the books she forced them to buy and she ends up starting her own book club with them. Peggy doesn't open a bookstore she buys one from some miserable woman who was just using it as a tax dodge for her wealthy spouse. You can't just c/p from a wikipedia article. Also they're not in to reading they're in to drinking but they think of Peggy as low class.

there wolf posted:So literally the only thing I got wrong was that she takes over the store rather than start one from scratch. Probably should have read the whole wiki rather than just skim the part about the book/gun sales to make sure I remembered it right. Peggy in her defense got sold a losing business. She is not a great business woman.

Krispy Wafer posted:Yeah, New York and New Jersey rest stops are next level. They’re like small city states in the middle of the interstate. You’ve got food, fuel, and probably booze. In the short story version of The Mist where they don't *cough* get rescued their stated destination is a HoJos on the interstate, somewhere south of Maine. That's where they place all their diminishing hope of refuge. The story just kind of leaves off there. Not being from the east coast I've only seen one on an episode of Mad Men.
