I’ll be stopping by Office Depot tonight or tomorrow for an ethernet cable, I wonder if it will be a ghost town?
Combination of many things - economy, online retail, but one observation that I have had is that the younger generation isn’t as keen to buy/get “things” like we used to...Many people are downsizing, so there is a lot of stuff out there for sale on ebay/craigslist in a down economy...
It’s going to take years to recover, and reach a new plateau (which will be lower than years past)...The new normal....
We are quickly becoming Japan...I was over there last year and noticed that everything except in a few areas...is stuck in the 80’s...Architecture, shopping malls, etc...People are just buying essentials, nothing more...
