I worry about all the lost jobs.

Online shopping seems to have reduced the necessity for physical retail spaces. Those that remain are often only half-stocked, and tell you to “go purchase online.”

I recall “the future of retail” foretold in the 90’s as going 100% online, driven by consumer demand, When in reality it seems to have been driven mostly by producer demand. Simply put, it saves retailers money to have fewer physical retail spaces. But it also reduces their brand footprint, and puts them at the same level with unknown warehouses in China or Idaho selling the same product sight-unseen.

Don’t give a f~~~ either.

I don’t buy s~~~.

And most of retail shop workers are women and gays.

Some old guy tried to touch me the other day soo I got a little grudge against them now.

No f~~~s given.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

If the stores had catered to the people actually earning the money, the men, these stores would likely not be closing.

Most men are too stupid to know what their true NEEDS are. They are brainwashed into thinking that they must constantly satisfy women in order to be happy.

I guess it also has to do with men = wallets leaving the plantation.

We men are rational buyers and are not so dependent one the “feelz” of the shopping thrill. We buy online, cheaper and with less traffic jams and crowds to worry about.

And we are sometimes disgusted by the way retailers shamed us men for being what we are.

Trying to squeeze the last penny out of us by shaming us into buying expensive “pussy gifts” didn’t bring them any luck.
They get their payback for forgetting the man = the wallet carrier in the equation.

JC Penney get what they deserve:

… For commercials like this…

In July of 2018, this honey pot forum was sold out to an unidentified NPC sock puppet and troll organization. Most independent thinkers and writers migrated to other MGTOW forums as a result of the never-ending infighting and deliberate trouble starting caused by members who were given "carte blanche" by the admin to do whatever they want. Before my departure, I only left a few thousand cat pics here to comfort and ridicule the feminist owners who now run this place. Their background agenda is to make MGTOW look like a club of losers the public eye. And during the course of 2019, they actually managed to destroy almost all other MGTOW venues as well. Here is the truth about "theindependentman.org" aka "TIM" which was created as an extended workbench to further divide the community.

Yeah honestly this is because Amazon is wrecking them.

A logistics company parading as as an online retailer.

The retailers can’t compete with the ease, and efficiency of Amazon.

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

I still prefer to shop for clothes at a brick and mortar store. I like to try things on to make sure it fits.

So do I. While increased on-line shopping means more warehouses and distribution networks, the numbers employed there won’t make up for the numbers lost in the stores.

The jobs are very different too. Salesgirls and cashiers vanishing while the need for forktruck operators and van drivers increase.

Looks like Radio Shack will account for ~20% of the closures. How they were even in business decades after consumer electronics crossed into the “Deliberately designed not to be repaired” stage is beyond me.

The shambolic zombie known as Kmart/Sears is closing stores too. Again, how many are left to close?

CVS is on the list for an odd reason. It deliberately over expanded as part of a competition strategy. In order to close certain stores in certain locations held by smaller chains and independents, CVS would build a store as close as possible to the other even if the new store was withing the operating radius of an existing CVS branch. In other words, CVS has stores it planned on closing even before it built them.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

That’s why you see chains like Tractor Supply Company expanding while chains like Payless (shoes), ARG (various women’s clothing stores), and Gymboree (indoor playgrounds? seriously?) can’t close their branches fast enough.

CVS expanded because it was trying to compete with Walgreens, and so what happened was, you ended up with a Walgreens and CVS on every corner and frankly, I find Walgreens to be generally cheaper than CVS.

That’s just great! I apply for jobs at a lot of those stores!

Good post and from a very reputable source. This is one of the reasons the DOW is down 400 points from its high over the last three trading sessions. Retail earnings have been disappointing.

Not surprised and more to come.

I really think we are moving into new territory here.
On the one hand, its clear on both sides of the Atlantic that consumer spending has been falling for years. The growth of the internet has meant real genuine bargains for the consumer, ease of comparing products and the hassle of driving into town/parking/hustle and bustle/queuing is avoided. From the retailers point of view, costs can be cut to the bare minimum. No wage bills, no retail rents/taxes, no bills, no dealing with awkward customers/employees face-to-face.
I predict that the number of retailers opting for sole online presence will keep on growing over the next few years as competition becomes increasingly fierce and margins are cut even further.

The question is: what will take their place on the high street? I predict that towns and city centres will end up like ghost towns in the next 10-20 years, as boomers (who have the majority of the wealth and who tend to like impulse purchases and high street shopping) die off in greater numbers. I really think that the economic climate for the majority of people in the next two decades will be decidedly frosty, hostile and poor. Lost jobs, unemployment and miniscule pay will be the reality for a lot of people sadly.
