George,

 GP> They claim the overall prices are lower, but we know the savings goes
 GP> 100% to corporate profits & $0.0000000001% to lower prices.

  Exactly. And none to their employees.

 GP> I prefer to have a human there to ask last-minute questions of, & to
 GP> claim my free stuff without delays (here there's a polixcy that if any
 GP> item rings up even 1c higher than ANY printed/posted price, you get it
 GP> free, up to $10 -- I claim $20-$50/year or more. . .

  One time in college, my books came to $77.77 (this was over 40 years ago).
The cashier said "Looks like you hit the jackpot!!". I said "Does that mean
I get my books free??". When she said "No", I growled "Damn!!" .

 >   .

 GP> My reaction, too!

  I would've beat that kid within an inch of his life.

 GP> But I could never say I didn't know the diffwerence between right &
 GP> wrong, though! Still can't (& don't); I was blessed to have a father
 GP> who truly loved me & honoured God & the job God gave him of being a
 GP> father.

  When a son follows in his father's footsteps, that's the ultimate
compliment.

 GP> The trick stores do now is give you a nice sale (30% off, no limits)
 GP> then when the sale price ends, the price is double the original! :(

  That's the new math. :P

 GP> On Jeff Dunham: I heard one of his newer shows the other day & I see
 GP> what you mean -- it was jarring the gratuitous F-bombs. I'm okay with
 GP> one or two done in the right timing to add to the humour, not disract
 GP> one. . .

  It's like rap music...every other word is profanity.

 GP> I haven't kept up my subscription to the Scrabble club....
 GP> Now they have started sending me threatening letters.

  There are memes why Snow White and Santa won't play Scrabble with the
7 dwarfs or the eleves, respectively...because of the tiles they got. :P

 GP> I'm very disappointed with my Amazon Prime subscription!
 GP> it will only let me watch episodes 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13

  Par for the course.

 GP> A year ago, I got a subscription to a magazine for mentally ill people.
 GP> Now I have many issues.

  I see that in your posts. 

 GP> My Dad to a telemarketer selling magazine subscriptions...
 GP> No thanks, we're all illiterate. (I'm going to use this one!)

  Illiterate?? Read below where you can write today for free help!!

 GP> Someone approached me and asked me to help save the Amazon
 GP> So I signed up for a Prime subscription and restocked my bookcase.

  Sounds like it should've been medium rare instead of well done on the
ribbing.

 GP> My newspaper subscription is a joke.
 GP> I don't get it.

  That's why most have gone to online only.
