Good point but I just don't know what will evolve from this that will create jobs besides amazon factory workers.
The retail apocalypse has officially descended on America

Outlet malls are better
I think only the higher end, upscale malls, like Fashion Valley in SD, and South Coast Plaza in Santa Ana, Beverly Center, will last. They have the boutiques, and the Nieman/Nordstrom/Saks, places. Obviously, Wal Mart isn't going anywhere soon, so the lower end will survive too. The largest percentage of malls, all the mid/lower level are out of here. Anytime I'm near or in one, you can taste the incoming demise, it's really bleak. First the stores like Nordstrom, Macy's leave, or shut down, then it's a slow crawl towards death.
Old enough to remember when we went to the mall to try and get girls numbers, and go to the movies, $20 was enough for a movie ticket, nachos, and two items plus fried rice at the Chinese place. Special time in my childhood.

yep!
I'm surprised you never hear about the Sneaker stores closing. Online must be really keeping them afloat. In can't be the team Jordans and cheap Adidas keeping them open. There's usually at least 5 big sneaker stores in a major mall. Footlocker, Champs and Footaction are the SAME company yet they usually have their own space in these malls and they never close unless the whole mall closes. Those 3 along with Finish Line and a couple of urban shoe stores like Jimmy Jazz are surviving even though everything can be bought online...

Sinister is a system
With sneaker stores u really gotta go in there and try them bytches out unless u copping the same air max over and over. Some jordans im 10.5 other 11 so id be pissed if i copped the wrong size and go to send em back and the right size aint available
I think Walmart is still doing good because of their grocery selection. Even target was down last year because of their limited grocery selection. The Internet will probably kill the grocery stores too but I think were a long way from that don't really trust someone else picking out my perishable items like meat and produce.
that's ultra gay my nikka.
as someone that used to work at an outlet mall, I beg to differ. A few years ago the outlet mall where I used to work used to ALWAYS be packed. regardless of the weather., but nowadays it's damn near a ghost town (compared to back then).
I was at the outlet mall 2 days ago, and it was dead. granted it was tuesday, but still. I went to Ugg, and there was only 4 people shopping.
The only outlet stores that I know of that are doing good, are Burberry, Gucci & higher end stores like them. Even Coach is toeing the line. Years ago Coach would always have a line out the door early saturday/sunday mornings, idk if it's still like that, but I was told that they weren't doing that good.
The early 90'syo i literally did the same thing. that opening scene.I was like
damn the mall used to be poppin.

Death to GameStop!
it has already..i predicted this last year!
all those cozy retail jobs that the dime piece cuties were use to getting are now GONE..........
I know this one dimepiece whom i helped with her resume was looking to work at Victoria's Secret in retail...
got mad disapointed last year during holiday time when they told her they gonna stick her in the STOCK ROOM and it's only gonna be seasonal and she would only get like 20 hours at the most cause they didn't wanna give her a full 40 because they would have to provide insurance
and they couldn't give her full time anyway cause it was just a peak season ...because most of victoria's secret sales base were ordering online anyway
and women on the coli got upset when i said Selling RECYCLABAL GOODS is the NO. 1 side hustle amongst working class women (18 to 39)
pretty ladies are gonna have to learn how to be able to adapt to marketing the selling of azz since the selling of consumer goods is at an all time low
