Sorry you didn't care for the baby banjo. Something like 30% of all products ordered online are returned as compared to about 9% in brick-and-mortar stores. There is a thriving business possibility of ordering a pallet of junk for a few hundred dollars and then repackaging items and sending them out again at nearly full price. As one of my heroes reportedly said, “If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted, then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production.”

This was overheard in Target today when a couple of jocks were talking about going to Pier One to get a rug because one guy didn't like the selection at Target.

Jock 1, "Why don't you just order one from Amazon?"

Jock 2, "I don't think so. Amazon is like Tender. You fall in love with the picture when the reality is never as good as what you saw on line."
