JC Penney Versus Amway Family Reunion

Ha ha once again JC Penney is having a doorbuster sale on the same day as Family Reunion. I had that dilemma. I knew JC Penney was having a kick ass sale on a fancy latte/cappuccino machine so I brought extra cash with me to Family Reunion. Unfortunately Ambot bragged about it to his upline who convinced him to loan it to buy a ticket for a crossline who didn’t have a ticket waiting for him at the registration desk even though he claimed he’d bought it online. In order to make himself look good and important Ambot offers up the latte machine money. I am PISSED. Really why did he have to brag about having extra cash? Its not of those fucking IBO’s business!

Oh wait. I forgot. This is Amway. Full of a bunch of fucking troublemaking meddling bastards who want to know EVERYTHING about their downline.

Fuck you!

Anyway I bought a latte/cappuccino machine that doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as the one I originally wanted in the doorcrasher sale but it gets the job done.

I checked the sale this year for coffee machines and there’s nothing I want. Well that could be because I have something similar already at home and not looking to upgrade.

But doesn’t it figure that JC Penney has its Saturday door crasher during Family Reunion weekend again? Its like a conspiracy. Someone in the JC Penney promotions department must have checked the Amway calendar and said: “I’ll fix those fucking IBO’s. I’ll hold the door crasher sale on the same day they’re at Family Reunion. That way those bastards can’t show up at the stores and hound our customers with their sales pitches.”

Now THERE’S a marketing strategy!

The Worst Towels Ever!

The worst towels I have ever used came from Amway. This was a few years back. I have no idea if Amway still sells lousy towels. I can’t remember what colors Ambot purchased. I definitely remember red. I think the other set was a different color, maybe blue or green.

The first time I used the towels all the little red fluff came off all over my body. YUCK! So I toss them in the washer and dryer hoping that a cycle will get rid of the fluffies. I know from past experience that sometimes a washing or two is necessary to get the lint off.

No such luck. For the next month I washed and dried those suckers multiple times following each use because everytime I used them I was grossed out by all the towel fluff left on my body. Talk about low quality at a premium price! Not to mention how irritating it is to dry myself off and have towel parts stuck all over me. Absolutely disgusting.

After a month I told Ambot I refused to use those shitty towels anymore. I went to the department store and bought Ralph Loren Polo towels. They were lower priced and better quality than the Amway towels. The best thing? No more shedding!

The second best thing is those higher quality RL towels lasted for years. They’d still be going strong except I decided I needed a change and headed to JC Penney to buy some nice plush Egyptian towels. If anyone is looking for good quality reasonably priced fluffy luxurious towels, they’re from the Chris Madden Home Collection at JC Penney.

Getting back to the fluff magnets, Ambot was able to return the towels with the complaint that they shed worse than our dog. I guess our Platinum lost some points on that refund too! Upline losing bonus points because of me is, well, always a bonus!
