Hate to say it, because that's a lot of jobs but man I think my hold out might be coming to an end. I try tosupport local employers and hit up stores, but damn today I probably spend 3 hours trying to find some gear and no stores had it for a good price. Not even close. And, the 'in store' experience was :mindblown:

Ended up going on line and getting exactly what I wanted and spending less. Sucks for #retailset but man it's hard to shop on your feet anymore

Online is the new thing now because of the variety it offers and the customization it allows. Apparently less people, teens for sure are going to malls these days.

Malls have 10 years tops
I have seen Malls that were jumping as little as ten years ago that are now desolate and :flabbynsick:


Cant even remember the last time i was in a mall.:ohhh:



Used to go to the mall to buy cd's and holler (unsuccessfully) at ho's.

I can listen to Google Play and troll POF from the comfort of the crib now.:ehh:

Supermarkets, butchers, grocers, fish shops, and specialty ethnic food shops will survive, at least. So malls might not be obsolete, they're just going to have different kinds of shops in them. The concept behind a mall of having lots of things in one place is efficient. Aside from fresh food and grocery shopping stores, maybe malls start to include dentists, clinics, vets, restaurants, tyre yards and mechanics, and all sorts of other businesses where you have to physically be there to get the product or service.

Nah, retail will always be here, just not as big as it was, and malls are dying. As someone mentioned earlier, it's better to shop for clothes in person, a lot of clothes are made slim fit nowadays. if you're even somewhat muscular, brolic or chubby, clothes shopping online is often a problem :francis:

What sizes are you guys that you cannot shop online, aside from the big and tall crowd?

I don't know how you don't shop online when store's own online component will have the same item cheaper. I can wait those 3 or 5 days and I sometimes do store pick up when I don't get free shipping.

Some things are better to be inside a store. :yeshrug:
what are you buying that is so much cheaper online?:patrice:

T-shirts and Jeans mostly... Sneakers you can buy from anywhere I dont like going to the sneaker store anymore. I know my size I dont need to try them out anymore. If I go I just go cause i need the kicks today for some damned reason.
