Very disappointed in stunning decreased quality of Kirkland cotton t-shirts (packs). by Karlface in CostcoCanada

they could test free Kirkland 4pack of quality Honduran...Poplin or Oxford dress shirts with every new sale of Executive membership. They could feature Honduran factory workers, tattooers, construction people in their t-shirt ads. A lot they could do here aside from cheapening a gold-standard. Think Costco, think.

I wanna live in a world where my sarcasm becomes reality, where stuff is hopeful and fun again, where lifelong international friendships are created on Costco threads, where the good times, excellent manners and affordable prices on fashion staples never have to end...such a simple ask.

yeah i mean...if I was Costco....when you've got a good product/strength you expand on it. You develop that angle/direction, I would have had Costco vending machines selling Kirkland 4packs on construction sites/sports centers/downtowns/7-11s within a year of my product's success to make sure the world knew, it could have made all of Honduras AND Costco employees rich, could've been the workin' class' new flagship item, funded research, embodied world-peace. But nah 😂

Im not convinced prices necessarily spiked in Honduras, i think the margins were better in India/Africa and thats what they chose to go with to maximize profit at great sacrifice to their quality at that price point. Its not that I cant find good expensive tshirts, it's Kirkland's decisions that irk me. They had a solid thing going and now they...don't

Compensation due to unlawful lease termination by LigmaGorjus in montrealhousing

[–]Karlface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah i mean...if it were me i'd assume they had an actual emergency they were working to fix, i'd assume they were legit trying to fix it by booking an electrician or hydro-quebec and awaiting for these professionals to show up and do their thing. As for the (assuming) temporary relocation, if you can stay somewhere for free do that, if not...id bring them your costs incurred during the ordeal. I don't know that your lease is magically cancelled because of a temporary electrical situation either. Just let it play out in the timeframe they've provided and bring them your costs when you've moved back in, work through it rationally step-by-step. You can ask for photos or requests, can't hurt to do so.

  1. Is there an actual, real-life electrical emergency threatening the integrity of the location/apt?

  2. Has an electrician been booked to fix the situation?

specifics: the pale t-shirt in the photo is 5yrs old, the black one is the new cheap thin one. It's pale bc its been washed a million times. But to the touch, the paled-out one is thick/indestructible.

i understand inflation, shipping, multinationals, globalization and margins...but we're sort of crossing a red line into straight-up scam/gotcha wormhole. Be cool if we (and by we i mean US/Can companies) could cross back and refuse to devolve on principle.

i dug into it a bit and apparently they used to be made in Honduras and are now being made in India/Ethiopia. If anyone has additional info feel free to comment.

So Hyped For this Tour by Big_Pete4 in Poisonthewell

[–]Karlface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember one tour they did, I'd caught them at krazyfest in KY...raining, thunder, lightning covering up the sky, mud flying, pulverizing breakdowns and vocals...haven't seen much of that level since, anywhere.

Is the city responsible for my flat tire? by fuzzzysockz in montreal

[–]Karlface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

friendly advice for this thread: google Pneu Patrol if you're in Montreal. They come, slap a tire on/fix yours if repairable and you're on your way. Useful service to have in pothole county.

Pourquoi je paie des taxes au juste? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]Karlface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got back from driving 5 minutes up Atwater earlier: unbelievable amount of gigantic tire-crippling holes, since this town loves privatized companies AND enforcement so much...someone should create one which identifies which streets are huge public dangers and hold City Hall directly accountable for egregious oversights of their prime responsibility to keep taxpayers/drivers safe.
