It's getting hard to find a store where I can try on shoes before I buy.
Now days just order online, if they don't fit I can pay to ship them back.........

You mean the free market works?

 

[66vette]

I guess it works.
Gone are the days of fitting rooms & comparing clothes up close.

Where are you trying to buy shoes? I see plenty of B&M locations for shoes.

That report is full of conjecture and speculation

So are driving all over town to find they don't have your size or what you want.

Nah, I don't see that. There are tons of places to buy shoes and clothes at brick and mortar stores.

Could possibly be your & my experiences do vary. Then again I never liked shopping for clothes like some woman. Buying clothes online is one of the best things ever devised IMHO. I hate driving as it is, then add in going to multiple places to turn up empty handed.

I would buy haircuts on line, if I could

I just walk in a grab a 3 pack of grey cotton shirts off the shelf. Hanes brand with the tag printed on instead of the old school tag.


Usually grab some ammo while I’m at Walmart too.

Just buy some clippers & go bald...........quick & easy

Around here you have to travel a ways.
I don't know what B&M is.
If I reorder same style & size online that would work well.

All I know is that the outlet malls down here aren't going out of business anytime soon. And we've got an Amazon distribution center within a mile or so of the malls.

If shoe stores were in danger of disappearing, my wife would have let me know.

I hate malls, as far as I'm concerned, they can all close.

Yep, as long as there are women there will be stores.

Guys, guys... the important part is that Jeff Bezos has $100 billion in his bank account. **** all the retail workers out of jobs, and **** all the people working in shit conditions for Amazon, too. Oh, and pays less tax than a mook working for minimum wage.

I don't want to be an alarmist, but is the sky falling?
Asking for a friend.

I suppose if your head hurts, you could blame it on that.

Or just take some aspirin. But there is no fun in that.
