OT(somewhat)-This Sunday's NY TIMES!

[bubbagump]

After reading an article on Internet stores I just laughed my head off. The New York Times claims that companies such as buy.com, amazon.com, cdnow.com, and many others are now adapting a policey of not giving out dollar-off coupons. They claim they want repeat customers genuinely interested in purchasing goods from them, not just getting a good deal. (I guess that excludes us.) However, they tried to point out that the good deals on the net are coming to an end. I would just have to disagree. The day before I had just received three packaged from Staples, and today I got my Buy.com order. Maybe, we should write an editorial for the NY Times on how the bargains are still livin'!

Well, they certainly are still living. I just hope it stays that way. Something tells me it will not however. After all, have you ever seen a B&M store stay in business that has 90% of its customers coming in with coupons that create purchases which are below cost? I mean, I know that internet sites have much lower overhead costs, but they still need to turn a profit..and a quite large one at that.
