Items you no longer see in stores

[1STMP]

On the humorous side, I'll start with;
What ever happened to colored
toilet paper, pogo sticks, paddle balls,
and hula hoops?

 

[Speedbird]

Just about any toy I had that was fun.
Because "dangerous" and lawyers.
I have a distinct memory of wanting one of these very badly.
But in my day children didn't get everything they wanted.
Because money.
I was also taught that my wants wouldn't hurt me.

I’m going rogue here and state everything you do see is lower in quality, smaller in size and # more $$ than ever before. I e never seen spikes of this nature on EVERYTHING before in my life.

This one brought a memory. My Dad shopped K Mart a lot in the 1970s. His 62 Chrysler wagon was usually sporting a set of K Mart's "Fisk Premier" tires. They were actually pretty cool looking, with the triple pinstripe whitewalls.

Ahh, the elusive check out gal,
Not seen often in her natural enviroment.
Good catch !

A pack of these

 

[Budnicks]

Actually helpful, knowledgeable & attentive employees
that aren't annoyed by the fact 'it's in their job description'
get off your lazy butt & do your job, aid/help a customer
seem like their job is beneath them

especially;
the big box stores,
hawking Cheap Pricepoint Chinese crap on the masses


products;
Handguns
magazines for the above
Ammo
or anyone that actually knows anything about them
