I have a question. If Meh is purchasing xs inventory, out of date inventory, etc.**, and reselling it at a discount to willing Meh customers (aka suckers), then why are we limited to purchasing only three items at time?
When Meh purchases unsold inventory at a deep discount, then that inventory becomes part of the working capital of Meh and all the associated bidnesses, so while it may be less evil, it is still evil. To be sure, the bidness model of Meh requires that a certain level of product be available for the suckers, but it seems to moi to be a fine balancing act of enough to make a profit and not enough to take the loss somehow integrated into the size of the Meh warehouse, which, I’m sure is quite finite.
Some remarkable and most memorable events even still have occurred owing to Meh’s ability to manage this. Pasta Drop, to name one, has become legend. And, I, for one, loved the bean drop as well. I usually bite on the offerings of a Pedroncelli wine, renamed and disguised as a “Cheer” around this season. My lament for the Cheer offerings is that the suckers are only allowed two.
**Anyone who understands the fundamentals of business knows that working capital is evil. Working capital is money tied up in things like inventory of finished goods, raw materials, as well as accounts receivable and accounts payable, etc. Of these items, unsold inventory is perhaps the most evil, next to accounts receivable. I think unsold inventory is the most evil as it encompasses the sunk costs of manufacturing and all the support costs that go into that.
That’s just the funny one. I believe at one point we were introduced to some members of the supply team and how they hunt/present to boss/aquire things for meh. I don’t recall links though. But how does any discount chain aquire stuff? Nothing nefarious. Someone couldn’t move it/wants to liquidate it. We think it has value at the correct price. Etc etc.
Bottom line they are clearing stuff out the original company can’t. And needs to go. If you produced something to sell in a certain place/store. You can’t. There’s leftovers. Meh buys it cheap so they don’t have to trash it. Offers it to us cause they think we might like it. They all make some money. If they can’t sell it. Irk it

Most of their stuff comes from toothbrush factory heists.
@OnionSoup lol. Awesome. I was going to say. “Well you know how toothbrushes sometimes fall off the back of a truck?”

MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!
@unksol obviously Quip were the ones that messed up…
But that would make one hell of a heist movie, the staff of Meh, and a small troll team up to rob a shipment of toothbrushes.
