Title: Something I've Noticed
Post by: Diogenes The Cynic on May 26, 2015, 01:54:34 PM

I drive a lot.

I've noticed that a lot of stores, sometimes even major chains are closing up shop, and the retail space is sitting unused.

Has anyone else seen the same thing?

I work 48 - 72 hours a week depending on the needs of the week at my job and i can tell you i don't have a lot of extra spending money, but when I do buy something I buy online because its generally cheaper for a number of reasons. Id say the biggest reasons are the number of people selling and none of the costs involved in running a brick and mortar business.
I bought some electronics online for half the price of its listed price at bestbuy and doing a quick search i have found better alternatives for what i want for the same price or cheaper. online is the new way to buy (at least if its not shoes or food) but i'm sure time will solve the problem.
