…because the zipper broke. We hit three different stores after school, and struck out at each one of them. I come home, go online, and found one online within thirty seconds. But this isn’t a post about how this shows why brick-and-mortar stores are dying. It’s a post that asks a question: how do we keep those stores alive?
I mean, they do provide jobs for people and everything. And you gotta have people generating economic activity if you want to have an economy. And, honestly, same-day delivery online isn’t a thing yet. Which is one reason why I went to the stores in the first place. So how do we save these things from (apparently) themselves?
