Do you mourn the death of retail?

1 Answer

Answer :

I don’t mourn it, but the loss of retail “ centers” will be one of the changes that I will find tough. I liked going someplace to hang with my friends, and/or go on a mission to find that consumer product I wanted. I liked looking at the products and physically checking out their quality. But everything changes. Given my history for the last 20 years, I’m just happy to be here
