Do you think its sad that small family stores and businesses are going out of business?
Theres a music store (family run) that has lovely people working there and owners in the town I live in. Ive bought a guitar, music books etc from them. They know me by name and i know them (even though i dont go that often- because im not into music anymore). The other day they told me that they cant compete with online shopping (like ebay, amazon, online companies)and so they are shutting down. Also, yesterday, an elderly gentleman came to my house and asked me if i wanted to have milk delivered to my house by a milkman (remember them). He told me small farms are going out of business because of big supermarkets like ASDA, TESCO, etc. I agreed to have milk delivered by milkman. Its just really sad to see small businesses go away due to big companies and corporations Also dont you think you get better service as well and the family atmosphere is nice too
