Don’t forget Rickles Home Improvement stores and Caldor.

Edit - forgot Steinback and when Macy's was Bambergers.

Man I’m aging myself.

Mentions of Rickles and Caldor brought me back to 6 year old me running errands with my parents on a Saturday

That one day in 8th grade we all had to wear a tie, Charles’ words cut like a knife that sticks in me to this day…

“Although your tie may be grand, we all know that it’s Caldor brand”

I’m 52 and remember that word for word. Fuck you Charles.

A trip as a 6 year old to Caldor/Bradlees/K-Mart meant a hot dog, soft pretzel, and a soda or icee for me on the way out of the store. I loved going to one of them.

Saturday was kids bowling league for me though later, they basically had the same lunch counter.
