Pickles by Brian Crane for June 22, 2019

You should better get some new bookshelves before you ask for this catalog… BIG bookshelves! (I heard Amazon had some beautiful ones)

My, is Pearl behind the times. I guess she uses Sears, Macy, and/or J.C. Penny.

I can’t wait for Pearl to have the same conversation with Nelson! “Catalog? Is it a new app, Aunty Pearl?? Do you need to check a consent checkbox to activate it?"

Get out much, Pearl?

Wha? Love your table lamp; where did you get it? …. I got the table lamp there, too. (what did I miss?)

Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife McKenzie has written 2 novels. I have one from the library but haven’t started it.

Pearl is lost….ever since Earl picked Opal over her….lol

Pearl just does not get Amazon. I wonder if she has even touched a computer.

Hummmmm you sure you didn’t get that from “Acme” …….Acme always had whatever the Coyote needed ! ;-)

Sure Pearl. Just write toSpegails catalogChicago Illinois60609

I too, have no problems with Amazon. I also use Walmart online to compare prices. Often, Walmart sells the exact same thing at a similar or lower price and they don’t charge for shipping. Or…you can get free pick-up at your Walmart store. (No, I’m not on their payroll).

Like how the cat’s looking at Pearl like “Are you serious?”

I remember using Amazon when all they sold was books!

You might be better off checking the Sears and Roebuck catalog.

I still get tons of catalogs in the mail, none of which I’ve ever asked for. . .

Boy! Is Pearl in the dark ages!

I know some older people who proudly boast that they’ve never used or had a computer. Being an older person myself, I just feel sorry for them. Hurray for Amazon Prime!

I read and hear a lot of bashing of on-line shopping; everything from product quality to customer service and anything and everything in between. Suggest that the remedy would be to shop and patronize your local brick-and-mortar merchants, who are struggling and would really appreciate the business, and you’re looked at like you just stepped off the flying saucer.

I do quite a bit of shopping at Amazon, but there are certain things I won’t buy online. Clothes and shoes for example: I am an odd size and what looks nice on the mannequin or in the photo just won’t fit me. I need to try things on before I buy them.

LOL! I saw this & immediately thought of my mom. She gets a lot of her clothes from the venerable Blair & Haband catalogs, dutifully filling out the order forms & sending checks. She can’t figure out why I don’t even have checks for my accounts…I’m spoiled by my debit cards (which she doesn’t trust)!

I hope you got a good deal on the endorsement!

Yes, I still remember when my sister and I were anxiously waiting for the catalogues (Otto and Quelle in Germany) to check out the newest clothes and hoping that my mother would let us order our favorites. And I still think it was more fun than scrolling through page after page online.

Montgomery Ward?

Fingerhut..?

Who does catalogs nowadays? Well, some of them still exist, but…

Yes they do take checks.

Even my “I’ll never have a cell phone” spouse has figured out how to use Amazon. She even logs in and becomes a Mechanical Turk from time to time! (I tried that too, but the pay rate was so abysmal that I could do better walking the roadsides collecting cans.)

Relatively Modern Opal

Probably does Candy Crush game with a hammer on the dining room table
