Cabella (actually Worlds Foremost Bank) does have some overhead with their Visa cards. They had to pay over $10 million in fines and restitution in 2011, and they got hit with another million in fines and refunds in 2014.

Regarding Montgomery Ward’s, remember that the third biggest retailer in America was gobbled up by Mobil Oil who quickly turned them into the tenth biggest retailer.
After I made my post, I was afraid you might misinterpret it. I certainly didn’t intend to be critical of anything you wrote or your choices to make online purchases. I do such all the time. I think it must’ve just been something in your post that made me think of some of my experiences with libtards. I apologize if it came across as otherwise.
No worries! :-)
Never had a problem with their fit. At least not yet.
tx!
Some verify size, style and brand and then go home online and buy stuff cheaper.
Also banks are firing all their tellers and rePlacing them with rotating bankers.
The AAA has also fired half their staff.
SOMETHING BAD THIS WAY COMETH!
“No atmosphere in the retail outlet,though”
—
If there is one thing I could not care less about is atmosphere when I’m shopping.
I’m a quick,in and out shopper—I have detested it my entire life.
My late Mom LOVED shopping. I’m sure I was a great disappointment to her. :-)

**** “With Amazon Pantry, one rarely needs to hit the grocery store anyway.
Couple that w/ ‘Ship to Store’, for a lot of places, and it’s in/out. No need to BROWSE and impulse shop. I think you’ll see small store-fronts for the big-name stores in the future. Shipped to & pick-up from. Nothing more.
B&M...going the way of the buggy whip” ****
Never underestimate the Stupidity and Greed of Government/Politicians and then understand that the Internet is just a button push away from existence. Knowing that what do you think Obama is squeezing Amazon for $ ?
In our area, Sears has a main store in town with everything and a smaller satellite store on the Amish side of town, just a store front with lots of appliances.
***** “What if you did not HAVE to go there to pick up the gun you bought online?” *****
That would be so cool
The only thing keeping retail going is clothing. When some smart person gets rich by coming up with a way to virtually try on clothes, retail is toast.
Ha! Just for s&g, turn off the internet for ONE day and watch the world EXPLODE on D.C./State/etc.
More so than if they put the TV broadcasting to color-bars for a week.
starting reading the post...knew it was you :)
