Sales tax is NOT why brick and mortar stores are receding.
You can blame this and that, the other. And they’re all factors.
But at the end of the day markets change.
Planes took over to trains. We don’t need MCI’s long distance anymore.
The one this a store front has going for it, is you’ve got the potential customer, face to face.
And they’re dropping the ball. Mainly because it’s all but impossible to have good sales people at the wages the retailer can afford to pay, work the terrible hours they have to work. But crap even most doctors I’ve been to have terrible customer service. And they make good money.
I used to live in corpus, that town doesn’t has a lot of mom & pops. It’s one of the most miserable retail experiences I’ve observed. It killed the romanticism of the mom & pop for me.
I can count the companies that I think do a good job on customer service on 1 hand.
Discount tire, Disney, chic-fil-a, and maybe buccees (IMO they’re maintenance, stockers and Janitors).
