Love this store/site. I have purchased several pair of shoes over the years and the few times they did not fit, Zappos sent me a return box and exchanged sizes with zero problems. And their customer service is friendly, professional, and pleasant.

Penney's used to sell average, decent fashion. I never go there anymore because the clothes are poorly designed and made. The clothes are usually made from cheap feeling and looking fabric.
Just go to Walmart and save some money.

Lowes has average products, decent variety, but God help you if you have a question. They are WAY understaffed, and you literally have to walk around the store to find someone.
Even if you do find someone you have to follow them and the others needing help around the store while the guy/gal helps those in "walking" line before you.
They should get a few phone operators who man phones they put throughout the store so you can just pick up a phone and ask "Where can I find X"? Within a short time.

Just went to Best Buy to replace the laptop power adapter I lost during a move as I needed it quickly. The guy who "helped" me was unbelievably arrogant, and on the verge of being rude. I was professionally dressed, and I am a pleasant, calm person. His arrogance almost made me leave the store.
Also, Best Buy prices are outrageous! I could have replaced the adapter on line for about $10, but Mr. Arrogant said the only one they had that would work for me was over $55.oo. Since I needed it quickly, I got it, but then when I got it home it didn't work.
I will never go here again. Horrible customer service and prices!

I used to like a lot of shows on HGTV: Design for the Sexes, Candace Olson and Genevieve Gorder shows, Lisa LaPorta.

But now all I see is real estate buying on beaches and foreign countries, destruction/demolition, masculine "modern" decor (and not even much of that).

My friends and I are all 35-50 and rarely ever watch HGTV anymore. I miss the good shows they used to have.

A business owner friend said that she can pay Mapquest and they will give people directions that go past her business rather than directions in the most direct way to get to a destination. This certainly explains why Mapquest directions are TERRIBLE. Look up directions to a place in your city and see if they give directions the way you would go: Likely not!
And there is no option to customize a map to print. Even if I use the cursor to enlarge an area, when I go to print it gives the whole map, not just the area I want.
I dislike the new Mapquest intensely. I used to like and frequently use the old Mapquest, but the new version is focused on business (and business advertising), not focused on user preferences.
