What y’all think about carepass? Yay or nay? And do you think this is the best answer to Amazon prime?

Here’s a solution, get out of retail. It’s not a Monday-Friday 9-5 job. It’s a business that’s open 7-10, and 365 a year. You aren’t smart if you think there should be some clear cut rules about availability. Retail is one of the most remedial and... —  read more
