What you see, is what you get
Yeah that's even a BIGGER issue is that humans are losing jobs due to technology advancing in the era we live in. Man is basically outdoing it's self in the name of trying to save money and make profits at the same time. I remember watching the news a few months ago about amazon opening up it's own grocery store in Seattle where you can do your own self-checkout no cashiers are involved. If that store takes off and amazon decides to go for nationwide expansion a lot of people are going to end up w/o jobs. I hate when I have to take care of business over the phone and have to go through an automated service and about 5-6 prompts before I can talk to anyone.
This is what I keep telling people....
at one point it was cheaper for these corporations to outsource work overseas ..... now these fukkers dont even want to pay some 14 year old kid in India $2 an hour for a 14 hour a day job ...... everything than can be automated will be
Yep, I remember going to the store at Vic Park/Sheppard. I remember going to the Chuck E Cheese there and heading over to that store afterwards to check stuff out with my family. I think that store went out of business in 97 or 98 breh. fukk, that was a long time ago.
Jobs are just shifting to warehouses, not being lost like that. If you notice, warehouse districts are booming and they're still building more.
Goods still have to be stored, shipped and delivered to people's homes.
Let's not hit the panic button here just yet

I think that could work. You open your distribution center up to the masses in major cities. If you need something, you can pick it up there. If you want it shipped to you, you gotta pay a premium for the item unless you pay a certain amount.
Malls 
that catalogue

This is one of the reasons I am trying to hustle my ass off now. I been following AMD's success with recent launches, namely their new CPUs, and the chief Architect behind it,Jim Keller, moved on to work on A.I. Artificial Intelligence, self driving cars, self everything...its bout to be a cold future soon. For real, Universal income will be on the table in 15-20 years, it is
coming that fast. The nations eating off of their own cheap labor will also suffer when technology even takes their meager pay out of the equation.
None of this is good. Mind you, them big ass stores that close means less jobs, smaller tax base, and less reason to invest in said area. Its a problem that perpetuates itself within a generation.

Amazon are even trying to cut out delivery drivers by testing drone deliveries ........ its going to get real very quick
for all this talk about bringing back manufacturing to the States its gonna be like the Spacely Sprocetts in The Jetsons where George Jestson just presses a start button everyday and the robots do the work
And not get robbed in the parking lotMost people figure why shop at a crowded mall with no available parking when you can just shop online in the comfort of your own home
