So yeah, our local Sears store is closing. It’s the end of
an era. No more caramel corn. So at our soon to be former Sears store, there’s
still this little hut out in the middle of their parking lot. It’s their former
key shop. Yeah, they had this (little?) guy who sat out there and made keys.
Twelve hours a day he made keys. No air conditioning, no caramel corn, no
bathroom. Just keys. Not sure what he did out there when he wasn’t making those
keys. But, if you needed a key made darn it, you knew where to go. If they
brought back the key hut, maybe Sears would have a chance of survival. And
maybe they could have him sell some caramel corn out there…
Good or bad, the retail world is changing. For instance, you
can order groceries from Kroger over the internet now and you can go pick them
up or they’ll bring them to your house. But how would you stop them from
bringing you bad produce – like those really really green bananas that nobody
ever buys? And won’t they screw up certain products? Like, maybe you order some
chocolate mousse and instead they give you hair gel? This concept sounds problematic
to me…
