Threadless is an online clothing store which Twitter periodically vomits itself into euphoria over, usually whenever they hold some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mate Ken isn&#8217;t the best shopping companion. Wherever we visit any shops together, he seems more set on how he can destroy the store, rather than actually acquiring any purchases. Now, though, it&#8217;s dawning on me: there&#8217;s actually money to be made here. He&#8217;d be the perfect security consultant on locking down new stores [...]]]></description>

Staff member: Why certainly!

		<description><![CDATA[My favourite thing about eBay is what sets it apart from other online retailers: the unique and immediate passive-aggression that follows any purchase. In your average eBay seller&#8217;s mind, you&#8217;re not just out to scam them: you&#8217;re out to scam them and use the proceeds to inject an infant with tuberculosis. Woe behold those who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although I&#8217;ve completely bagged Costco in the past, there&#8217;s been a growing sense that I need to visit their stupid new store and buy copious quantities of EVERYTHING THEY SELL. Why the sudden turnaround? It&#8217;s the same thing that happens when I don&#8217;t visit Ikea at least once a month. Or if I don&#8217;t quietly [...]]]></description>

Like Pauline Hanson descending into battiness and railing against every form of mass media known to man, it&#8217;s an insurmountable struggle that somehow continues unfolding over time. I&#8217;m not entirely sure what the properietors of this particular cafe have done wrong to repeatedly find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Costco opened for business in Melbourne today, like a lumbering elephant galloping into the world of Aussie retail. As far as I can tell, the store chain has melded together a supermarket, K-Mart, jewellery store and undertakers (seriously &#8211; they sell coffins) then injected everything with steroids. It sounds impossible to buy anything in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you grew up in the country, you’d be familiar with the concept of bizarre hybrid stores. In townships with smaller populations, you’d frequently find stores melding hardware with children’s toys, newsagents with chemists and other such strange combinations. To prevent a complete homogenisation of our urban shopping strips, I call for a re-institution of [...]]]></description>

Then next time something goes wrong with something you&#8217;ve bought from the supermarket, I demand you let the manufacturer know. After a recent messy packaging explosion, I was so irked by [...]]]></description>
