Kohl's Cardholders: Coupon for Additional Savings Expired

I sincerely hope Kohls survives this difficult time and hopefully doesn't go out of business

I am an Amazon employee (AWS) and I only have excellent experience. I worked for few different companies and I would say Amazon is the best place to work at compared to all the other companies I worked for. We innovate at a breakneck pace. So, if you like what you do, you have some really great things to work on. It's also the most fluid company I have ever worked at. I get asked every morning from an automated system about various job satisfaction related question. Those get analyzed, anonymized and discussed at all hands, team meetings etc. You can easily switch teams also if you want a career switch. The focus is always on how to improve employee satisfaction (and of course how to make company as a whole a better place to work so that they can make more money I guess. But I don't mind as I am happy). I am not denying the warehouse may have different condition. But that is life. I often remind my wife and other relatives about the hard fact of life. No matter which company, they are all here to make money. If things get worse, and supply exceeds demand (for my job category and my skillset) I will get fired. All Koh's, Macy's workers are on furlough e.g. I don't think Michelle Gass (Kohl's CEO) is on furlough.

That being said, my loyalty is only to 3 companies: Amazon, Costco and Kohls. I almost never shop outside of these 3. I cannot deny how Amazon changed my life long before I joined Amazon. I don't like to go outside much and I can't imagine how I could survive without my OCD shopping from my couch. If Amazon can match Costco price and convenience for grocery, I would probably stop going to Costco. Not that I don't like Costco, but because I just don't like to leave my house. And finally, Kohl's: who can beat Kohl's price? Not even Amazon can ever sell those Instant Pots at the price that Kohls sells. 2 months ago I bought 2 Instant Pot (A duo crisp and a regular Duo as backup for rice cooker when I make those long Yogurt session). It's crazy how cheap those were. And I bought $60 pants (really high quality; I know Kohl's mark up their price crazily) for literally $10 each (bought 7 of all colors and I am set for few years) with a gazillion stacking coupons and of course 7 different orders. Last night ordered a Pyrex 11 cup for $0 including shipping (using $10 Kohl's cash of course). I would sorely miss Kohl's if they run out of business. But then they will probably run out of business for me. I really hope for the best for Amazon (not just employee but as a truly grateful shopper, lover of Prime video etc.), Costco (can't buy those Organic supplement, Organic milk or Pasture raised eggs anywhere at that price point) and Kohl's (my favorite household shopping place).

P.S. I am already using Prime Now to shop all my groceries from Amazon and Whole Foods. Even Instacart doesn't have any delivery window (Amazon is also scarce but I can manage by checking couple times a day). That's another life saver for me as I don't want to expose myself to Covid-19 during grocery shopping and fight over Costco lines. It's all gratitude for Amazon for their years worth of service.


P.P.S. Amazon was a tiny company once upon a time. Even in 2008 I remember ordering a box of can of sardines that I didn't like and they refunded me instantly without even asking me to return. I know their return policy tightened now. But dealing with many return system abusers when you have millions of shoppers is not easy I guess. They operate on razor thin margin as well. The point is, they were small once upon a time. They worked their way up to this "supposed" monopoly (look up definition of monopoly. None of the business Amazon does is a monopoly. Not even AWS which has lions share. Each sector has well established competitors who are doing pretty well and in some cases are even larger in revenue. Online sales is a tiny part of overall retail. AWS has healthy competition from Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud etc.
