The path to buying online shouldn't be long and winding.

I don't understand why some web stores pay to advertise keywords, but then make it hard for the customer to buy. For instance, "Magnetic dog Note Pad". I click the link (They pay maybe a quarter or fifty cents right there?) Then I am taken to a page with dog note pads, starting with Akita, but I am looking for West Highland White Terriers - guess what page Westie note pads are on? I don't know, it only shows five. So I click "show all" and wait.

Now, this does not "whet my appetite", it's just annoying. Ultimately, I won't pay $19 and shipping, maybe sales tax, for this item, they don't even look like Westies, at least not like the one that is sleeping under my desk. Even still, A page with tiny pictures in an index might have worked better? We need some sort of psychic google; and don't think they aren't feverishly working on that.

Walmart really grinds my gears

Teresa just did her weekly Walmart trip, I know that it's the holidays, there is a ham there that was pushing $30. And Tide detergent, everything else was just low key expensive. I get it, tarrifs, rising cost of labor, insurance, yada yada yada. The total was about $225 - I have bought cars for less than than! Not very good cars, I'm just saying. What really grinds my gears though was the blatant lie at the very bottom of the reciept; Low prices You Can Trust. Every Day. A better tagline might be We know, everything is expensive, it's not just us. Maybe put the oreos back? To which I might reply: I got your creme filling right here, Buddy.
