It turns out people spend most of their time getting drunk in bars, stuffing their faces in fast food joints, and simply staying home on the computer. Maybe they invite a few noisy friends to come over and blast the stereo or the HD TV all night.
Macy's and other big stores are trying to figure how to get Millennials to drop in. Like, "should we put amusement games in the basement? Have coffee bars where they can sit around like it's a Starbucks? Get a liquor license???"
Got that? Its a "death knell," because people jilt the stores and don't care to put their hans on merchandise.
Any visit to any urban area shows that way too many people are clogging the streets, taking up space on the bus to the train to the bus, and contributing unwanted noises and odors. They just aren't going into traditional stores like Macy's!
When you consider that record stores and bookstores were hangouts, and that people could spend hours in there browsing, there isn't much hope for ordinary shops that have to pay huge rent and salaries. It's much cheaper for the average bitch to buy those look-alike fashions via Amazon or eBay. Now that there are so few choices for stereo equipment or cameras, and Amazon encourages people to leave expert detailed comments on what they buy, who needs to go into Best Buy? The price is higher and there's sales tax.
Our entire culture has shifted in so many ugly and depressing ways. Even the style of spending a day shopping has changed. Maybe in a few years there won't even be boot sales, as most people don't need second-hand tat, and can sit at home and find the supply exceeding the demand on eBay.
The future will simply be people staying home, running websites, making chump change on GooTube, having huge HD screens and stereo speakers to play video games and download the stolen PDF books, mp3 songs and avi movies, and avoiding the ever-increasing amount of Muslims.
The Muslims will take over the restaurants and only serve halal food. Bars will be outlawed, and maybe football will still be allowed. But swimming pools and beaches? The women will have to wear the burqa and anyone who doesn't will be stoned to death.
