How much money does a visual merchandiser make in the Virginia/DC/MD area?

March 112010

Visual Merchandiser who runs through out the District working on visuals for a high end retailer (not a department store-but an International Store like H&M, Bebe, etc).

Monster.com has a pretty good salary calculater, or at least a link if I remember. That should give you an idea as a lot of time it’s (the salary) confidential and can vary depending on experience and education.

Where can I get tahini to make hummus?

March 72010

I want to make hummus but we don’t have any international stores around here. I’m wondering if you all know if some grocery store like Walmart, Kroger or perhaps Whole Foods carry tahini.

Or could you perhaps recommend a substitute for the tahini although I’d rather not go down that routine if possible.

Thanks for your help!

Any Whole Foods store will have it.

Is it possible to buy San Miguel Beer in the US?

March 52010

I went to the Philippines last September with my boyfriend, we drank San Miguel Lite Beer and Blue Ice beer there and we just couldn’t get enough of it! We’ve been raving about it to our friends here in Chicago and words can’t do it justice–we’ve gone to Philippine stores and International Store but we couldn’t find it…Anyone got some info about where we could buy some without having to "enroll" and order it on a website?

You might try contacting your local beer distributor… you might be surprised at what they can get their hands on.

What happened to Home and Colonial stores?

March 12010

In the early 1900’s in the UK there was a store called Home and Colonial. What happened to them? were they taken over by another company, if so who?
Also, what happened to International stores?

The tea merchant Julius Drewe (1866-1931) founded the Home and Colonial store chain in London in 1883 and retired in 1899. By the 20th century there were over 100 branches nationwide and Drewe was a millionaire.

What’s unfortunate is that there’s very little documentation about Julius Drewe, and what seems to have survived as his legacy is Castle Drogo.

This article may help you understand H&C’s demise:
http://www.themanufacturer.com/britishindustry/content_page.html?article_id=591

As will this one:
http://www.theglasgowstory.com/story.php?id=TGSED06

It is possible that the stores merged with another company.

Do shops and Store have the right to stop and search you and your bags you may be carrying?

February 272010

It’s just I noticed in a well known International store a large notice saying.."WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEARCH ANY BAGS LEAVING THIS STORE!!",also a cusion of mine had been on a shopping trip with friends of hers they had been into this store bought items from it, and as they left she was taken to one side by two of the employees, and ordered to turn out her pockets and show her shopping bags,now my cusion is the most honest person you could come across, being the honest girl and she had nothing to hide so did as she was told,when they saw she handn’t stolen anything they told her to get lost. my cusion came home in floods of tears. Now I am under the imprestion that the only people that can search you and thats the police,and even then you have to be told why you being searched and it has to be done at a police station, is this right?

My cusions parents are now dealing with the store

Neithers to stay my cusion will not be shopping at this store again

I suspect only the police have the right to stop and search, and only if they have reasonable grounds of suspicion.

Maybe you could ask a consumer organisation, or the Citizens Advice Bureau, just to be sure.

If I saw such a sign in a shop, I’d vote with my feet, and go elsewhere, perhaps writing a polite letter to the manager explaining why.

A while ago, I wanted petrol from a garage; a sign said I had to pay first (before filling up the car). The inference was I (or any other customer) was not to be trusted. I went elsewhere.

Remember, without customers, a business will go bust. If I get treated badly, I tell as many people as I can, so they won’t shop there either. Perhaps a letter to the local newspaper would help matters.

Adverse publicity in the press will hurt these businesses where it matters; in the pocket.

Why was Estelle’s album, "Shine" and single "American Boy" removed from the iTunes Store…?

February 252010

…and replaced with a cover version, that is a pathetic attempt, if that. They still offer the album on other International stores, like the Canada Store.

Does anyone know – just curious. =]

I asked that question in a search engine and apparently the record label pulled it to try to pressure iTunes into marketing albums as one purchase without allowing you to purchase individual songs.
