“There are no kids”

I have seven kids who say otherwise.

'Latino birth rates'

Toys R Us didn't stock enough Mariachi Barbies.

LOL! If all the Mexican women looked like the ones on the Novelas, I’d be all for illegal immigration.

Muslims seldom buy toys for their children.
America, with the help of BO’B, has been slowly turned from Christianity toward Islam.

They prefer weapons and Quran

Who buys toys during the week during business hours?

Brick and mortar are at a serious disadvantage keeping a store open and paying employees with no customers walking in the door, and that was before Amazon came on the scene.

Grand-kids put into wish list. Grand-parents select and order.

This is VERY TRUE, I have not gone to a brick and mortar store in 10 years (except groceries) malls have been taken over by teenagers just hanging out!!! I have NEVER been a gal that just LOVED to shop, if I NEED something I go on line and buy it I have ALWAYS hated shopping in a mall!!! Being able to shop on line is like heaven for me!!!

The Muslims in this country are having LOTS of kids. Every time I see a Muslim woman in a burka / hijab / head covering, she is pushing a baby carriage. And she’s always surrounded by many other young kids...

Oh, there are kids. 5-6 each to every Mexican woman.

And Muslim woman. Actually they have probably 7-8 kids.

Point to remember: These same people screaming also believe they've found the "Money Tree" and all flows from the branches. NONE possess the knowledge to balance a checkbook.

My son is the store manager of a Babies R Us here and saddened that he has to find another job. My grandkids believed Daddy’s store helped Santa out with orders! Very sad.

Nope.

The real reason is one no one, liberal or conservative wants to admit is the reason for the decline in B&M stores. Lack of customer service.

Yesterday I was in a Christian Book store. A young lady asked the clerk to recommend a fiction book she could read for a class assignment. The clerk, hardly bothering look at her, informed her that the clerk only read nonfiction and brushed by her. There was no attempt to help or find someone who could help. And yes, there were other clerk wandering around.

I asked the young lady a few simple questions and was able to find her three authors that fit her needs in under five minutes.

I gave her better customer service then the employees did.

Do you think the young lady will be back to this store?

Brick and Mortar stores especially live and die on customer service. Our customers do have alternatives. They have to want to come to see us. I have customers who drive a couple of hours to come to my little store. They know they will be greeted by name, that I will be able to help them find what they are interested in and that if they are looking for something special I am willing to try to find it for them.

And I have coffee and cookies. :)

Tell your son to look for a management job in the grocery business, preferably one of the main chains, retail stores are becoming obsolete very quickly!!! The benefits in the grocery business are really great most of them are union unless you are in a right to work state!!! I HATE unions although I am In the grocery business and have to belong for the job!!! There is HUGE turnover and transfers where supervisors are concerned but the pay to start is between 16.00 & 20.00 an hour with GREAT BENEFITS!!! My medical a PPO is only 7 dollars a week!!!

There are no kids

Not to worry. We are letting plenty of Muslims in and their birthrate is 3x higher than ours. So, we will have plenty of good workers around to pay our Social Security, staff our old age care centers, and do our "dirty" jobs.
