    Yes, but did they buy anything?

    When I operated a brick and mortar store, I had lots of people walk in. They were all smiles and good words and nobody ever bought a thing. That is the reason why the store is online now hahaha.

    Hello Richard!

    A couple of young people came in to shop and said..

    Yes, but did they buy anything?

    Fortunately, yes. And they bought complete sets of a couple of
    YA/fantasy stuff of which they said they could not find in a
    much larger brick'n'mortar store elsewhere. And my copies were
    relatively recent, or at least included the most recent release
    in each series. The pair walked out with about 5 hefty books
    each.

    When I operated a brick and mortar store, I had lots of
    people walk in. They were all smiles and good words and
    nobody ever bought a thing. That is the reason why the
    store is online now hahaha.

    They say a bookshop needs to offer other product such as
    coffee, or gifts, or toys, etc. Maybe a gift coupon for a free
    horse ride would have worked for you! LOL

    But.. are you referring to your drug/health and geriatric
    products shop? Did you close the physical shop to the public
    entirely now? I would suppose you still need a way to receive
    shipments though.

    Yes, that shop is closed now and serves as a warehouse only now.

    I have my providers send their wares to the clinic I work for. The clinic people is cool with it because that way they ensure they have some hard to find supplies around - I actually had an Interview on local TV about the subject.

    Less medical products I tend to have shipped home.
