All the stores that are walking distance from my house are:
Mobile phone stores (fake resellers)
Fast food/Chinese/pizza
Liquor stores
Gas stations
711
Laundromat
Check Cashing
etc... None of these are stores I'd want to browse. The alternative is the mall, which is all brand stores. Basically one big ad space. Shopping there is like running IE with 100 toolbars! Same issue with some of the big box stores now. All are restructuring to be brand specific. Best Buy? Separated by Brand now. Want to buy a headset? Get ready to go to 6 different places and only see the the brands that paid to be there (just like with Facebook, we're the product, not the customer). Toys'R'Us did the same thing before its death. It separated by brand. Which wasn't as bad in a toy store. I can see going shopping for Lego or Barbie more likely than going shopping for Corsair or Logitech. But it still feels based on who paid to get the space rather than making it easier for the customer. |
