Maybe she'll give you insider trading info, then you as a congressman can put that to use. You that just until last year or so congresspeople could legally get away with insider trading while the laws that they passed made it illegal for others.

The hypocrite people in congress pass laws sometimes that sound good but make specific execptions for themselves. The fucking cunts.

Amazon is evil though. Honestly if it was between getting fleeced and Amazon, I'd rather get fleeced.

It's not like those are the only options though.

Pretty common in retail. Tricks customers into thinking they're getting a deal when they are paying regular prices

I'm an idiot for being more resourceful than you and understanding that getting shafted by Amazon in the long run isn't going to help me?

I'm sorry you don't know how to use google, but Amazon is not the only alternative to your local strip mall.

A few bucks extra for a tool that lasts for years isn't going to send me to the poor house. People like you are why stores like Williams-Sonoma exists in the first place. The dollar stores that sell junk for cash to people who are too financially irresponsible for a credit card will always survive, and the stores like W-S that cater to the price-insensitive will always survive, but the middle ground, where there's a small markup in exchange for choice, service, and freedom is the segment that gets murdered by Amazon. And then you have the gall to complain that all the independent retailers don't exist and you're getting squeezed.

You don't get it, do you? It's your fault.

Lol no, Williams-Sonoma has been hammered hard by online retailers. Go to their stores. They aren't much more expensive than what you can get online recently. Williams-Sonoma shoppers often just come in to look and then order online and the only way to stop that is to lower their prices.

I enjoy browsing through the store, it is quite nice, always a good time with so many nice things in one place, and sometimes free food. But I never buy anything, probably never will.

I'd bang the shit out of her. I've been liking her recent cooking shows; she still has a lot of pretentiousness but she makes her recipes very accessible.
