Re: Mom & Pop stores.... what ones do you patron?
i work at a mom and pop store ,its funny as locals do not really seem to shop there,
its mostly people who work near by or those passing through but its funny I refused a check from a lady and she yells at me" I have lived here all my life",funny I have worked 10 hour shifts for 5 years and never seen her ;-)
locals come in when they are trying to raise money ,sell something,or find a missing dog,or have time to Kill and just want to sit inside where it is warm ;-)
i once read somewhere that that is the norm that locals sing the praises of local shop but seldom shop them ,but always go on and on about them when it comes times to sell their house.
