Today's WSJ reviews the CUPS coffee service. With it, you can drink unlimited coffee at 100+ locations for $120 month. It's like a gym pass, but for coffee.
This reminded me of Bridge: we're CUPS for products. For one flat fee, stores receive unlimited products from 100s of vendors.

David Tutera's Rules for Pets in Weddings
One wedding trend Iβm seeing more and more: A coupleβs furry friend taking part in the ceremony. I happen to love when pets are involved in the processional of a wedding, and I've actually done several weddings that included dogs. One of these featured a pair of pugs dressed in a bridal gown and tuxedo, respectively. Adorable! Other weddings had the pups serve as ring bearers, strutting down the aisle with satchels in their mouths containing the wedding ...

Fedex and UPS prices are increasing in 2015. The new pricing model takes into account the size of the box shipped instead of just the weight. For example, to ship a women's shoulder bag may cost 40% more to ship.
How does this affect retailers? One may wish to reduce package sizes and consider using USPS instead. This may also help slow Amazon's encroachment on Main Street, mom & pop stores. However, some people think it will giv Amazon an additional advantage.
