Huckleberries Online

A good idea in concept

In concept that "Click List" service offered by Coeur d'Alene's Fred Meyer is a good idea. You, the customer, order items online and then you park in one of the 10 designated spots to have an employee bring them out to you. In reality, impatient cuss-tomers who have trouble finding a spot in the ha-huge Fred Meyer lot jam those spots and enter Fred Meyer to shop. Rose Backs of Coeur d'Alene counted 6 of the 10 "Click List" spots taken by regular cuss-tomers. She Facebooks: "I thought people were finally getting the hang of it until I realized no one was on the cars." Theory, meet reality.
