When I go to the mall I always parled by Dicks and would go in their store, someyhimes I’d even purchase something. Not any longer, now I use a different entrance to the mall.
I would go into their and announce that I want to buy something. When the store clerks line up to help me, I would then say, “but not from you”.
Then carry on my day.
I have a Dick’s store nearby. Their store is just a showroom for me to try stuff on, or check attributes of a particular product, before...going online to purchase (from a different vendor).
I’ll miss them when they close.
