@geniusmusing In my opinion, the price of retail space is way disproportionate these days. It will have to come way down before it is profitable to be a retailer again.

@geniusmusing Personally, I much prefer to have my item immediately after I hand over money. It is far too common to order something online, then have something completely different delivered, if your item arrives at all.

@lnxw48a1 Yes, the rent is too damn high!

@alpacaherder https://nu.federati.net/notice/2752912 This is a lot more than just bad business decisions. This is an entire industry that is facing collapse (and with said collapse is the loss of one of the biggest sources of entry-level and mid-level job opportunities; there will be a lot more unemployed twenty-something and thirty-something [and also seventy-something] people).
As much as we want to promote STEM and robotics, there are not enough programming and sysadmin jobs to replace retail.
