    And someday the Megamart Superstore will be replaced by a robot-run Amazon distro center

    Just like Walmart in Oriental NC. Opened a store there and killed all the small businesses, then pulled out a year later. People had to drive 25 miles to get groceries.

    They already know you own a small family store; that’s why the advance slime is there – to decide what order they will put you and your fellow locals out of business (yes, it’s actually part of the Walton business plan; cut prices on tires until you’re losing money. Wait for the locally-owned tire store to go under. Then jack up tire prices & drop show prices into the cellar until the shoe store closes. Rinse and repeat until the town is dead).

    What I think is the supreme irony of this arc is that those same mega-malls that they were rushing to build in the late 1980s and early 1990s and killed the local Mainstreet mom & pop stores are now vacant ghost towns, themselves, as all their anchor stores have closed, gone bankrupt, and gone out of business entirely thanks to the internet. Meanwhile, the small local store is seeing a resurgence – albeit a modest one – as communities are rediscovering and revitalizing their Mainstreet businesses.

    I was worried it would be a Walmart. This is soooo much better. Right?

    It’s this a take on The Bridges of Madison County? Sorry to sound so clueless, I didn’t see the movie or read the book.
