MY HYPOTHESIS--

Today’s standard of excellence is mediocrity.

(Note: In recent years I have observed a decline in the quality of many products, services, and performance in general. Postings under this title from time to time will explore this hypothesis.)

Recently I bought from Kohl’s department store a product called “20 Magnetic Refrigerator Frames...Clear Acrylic” no less!

Perfect, I thought—wrongly—for displaying some of those miscellaneous prints lying around the house.

The magnets on these things are so cheap the frames drift around the refrigerator door like they have been coated in goose grease by their manufacturer Fetco Home Décor.

And, unless all your pictures happen to be in the vertical format, the prints slide out of the frames without generous application of transparent tape.

Doesn’t anybody test this junk before they foist it upon the consumer?

Shame on you Kohl’s and whoever in the heck Fetco is!
