[quote=Anonymous]For the last decade, most people opted to purchase everything online to get the cheapest price or for convenience. As a consequence, we don’t have cool brick and mortar storefronts like bookstores. I was a holdout because I always have and always will prefer independently owned stores. I hate the fact that every community in America has the same chains; every town looks the same. And thanks to the pandemic which is driving even the holdouts out of business, I’m convinced the only brick and mortar businesses that will be left standing are chains, nail salons, Chinese takeout, tattoo parlors and vape shops. Way to go, all you people who opted to buy the cheapest stuff online! Now we’ll all suffer the consequences of soulless strip malls with the same Panera, chipotle, nail salon, dry cleaners, etc. [/quote]
