It does save on gas and milage on your vehicle and some of those stores, although had good sales from time to time, were pricey. I have also noticed that smaller business owners are also closing their doors, going out of business! The way things have been going, I may be doing the same! I don't have a building for my business but clients are cutting back on the luxury busniess needs, can't say I blame them at all!

Your post is partly true.

BB& B is NOT filing for bankruptcy.

Here's what snopes says:
"Some versions of this list include mention of Bed, Bath and Beyond (BBBY), a retail chain which is the main competitor of Linens 'n Things in the housewares and bedding business, but BBBY is not known to be in immediate financial distress or contemplating filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection at this time. In fact, in April 2008 rumors were floating that BBBY was considering purchasing 40 Canadian Linens 'n Things stores which the latter company was seeking to sell off to raise cash and avoid bankruptcy."

Just posted as a curtsy to those who do shop at those stores. My favorite store is Bass Pro. I don't see them going out of business any time soon. They have really fun toys and great customer service.

btw, rex, what happened to your bunny? (cute pets :) )

The only thing that walk-in retail store can offer that you can't get on-line is service. Unfortunately, few stores employ staff that know their products or are interested in pleasing their customers.

Good, knowledgeable help costs money and it makes sense to offer commissions to sales people. You can't hire illegals for those jobs.
