The only issue with this is that sometimes you do need a good sales person. First and foremost, a good sales person can ensure a proper fit for certain items. For eaxample, I am getting ready to buy hiking boots. Never owned a pair. It would be best for me to go to an appropriate store, get my foot measured, get the appropriate socks and try on a couple of pairs before buying.

One of my favorite shoe stores moved out of the local mall and down the street into a different municipality as a store front in a mini mall. I wonder why…

Clothing and shoes are the ONLY things I’d buy in a brick ‘n mortar business at this point. I don’t shop much anyway, but the places I used to buy military surplus camping and hiking gear have all closed down anyway (couldn’t compete with online sales, both in price and selection). NJ is rough for brick and mortar because the overhead of taxes is so high...

I have to buy shoes and boots at brick and mortar.

A good fitting anything regarding footwear has never been easy for me.

Liberals predictably claim this is because of the divide between the haves and have nots.

Earners = Have

Slackers = Have not

“Let it be given out,” said the Mayor sternly, “that three men have already been shot down without mercy for looting.
Let it also be understood that the order has been given to all soldiers and policemen to do likewise without hesitation in the cases of any and all miscreants who may seek to take advantage of the city’s awful misfortune.
I will ask the Chief of Police and the representatives of the Federal military authorities here present if I do not echo their sentiments in this?”

'Speaking of Geese. Have you ever been chased by a Goose? They’re a mean I tell you."
Walking home by a farm from elementary school, I had an encounter with a goose. I remember my black nurse telling me when I got home, "Gooses have rocks in their wings." I agreed.

I think it’s wrong to call this looting

Yep. It's called "organized crime." There's a destination for these goods, and it ain't the hood.
