Speaking of mean...making you stand out there in the cold, now that was mean! There will be more and better opportunities coming this year!

They really missed the boat. This one time GS should be their chance to reward their customers. If customers are happy, they will come back again and again (spending much more in the shop throughout the year on regular priced items).Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792063254225593026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-54319054879627698032013-01-06T12:04:11.839-08:002013-01-06T12:04:11.839-08:00Well poo!Well poo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609547635426839529.post-56176458779376563562013-01-06T11:54:46.062-08:002013-01-06T11:54:46.062-08:00Those kinds of GS are the ones that turn me off ga...Those kinds of GS are the ones that turn me off garage saling espeically when I go to several in a row like that.
