    CVS, Walgreens, Macy's and dozens more bracing for '15,000
    store closures' this year amid brutal retail culls

    . . .

    This is NOT good.

    Don't care so much about the 'fashion' outlets, but
    the PHARMACIES are kinda critical.

    My pharmacist knows my face, my history, my needs,
    my rep as an Intelligent Person. NO replacing that.

    "Online" MAY be slightly cheaper - but SO much
    is lost. Kinda TOO much where it really counts.

    Ok, Ok ... I do understand SOME of this, esp with
    the pharma chains. If CVS put in a store, Walgreens
    just HAD to put one directly across the road. The
    result was Not Enough Business for either. We've
    seen this with bank chains too. Knee-jerk biz
    decisions/strategies don't always work out and
    are expensive.

    This is Trump's "Golden Age of America".

    Everything is going swell.

    Only the liberal media says anything different.

    Stick with Mewsmax and Whitehouse.gov, all other are lying.

    Cheaper cost and cheaper value is a definite NO NO. Many years ago my bank
    of choice was acquired several times and is now under a popular and well meaning cheap bank. The people that had known me are replaced by people
    that don't and trust only that a correct code is entered on a keypad. When
    the people go and/or no longer interact with me, of what value is this
    place as a service?

    Pharmacies, restraunts, park, and so on are dying in the name of corporate greed combined with not providing the quality of service that the original
    did.

    Perhaps part of the problem are those that use the cheaper services and
    don't know what they have missed. When they find a good place they are so surprized.

    I still value people doing work regardless of the task. They make using
    the service worth using.

    I would like to think that our creator would agree with this sentiment.
    Why else would we have been created instead of our mostly-useless
    replacements.

    Please be the reason for me to use and enjoy your establishment.
