Too bad catalogs don’t exist anymore. Sears, Wards, JC Penny could be re-purposed
Isn’t it wonderful (not) that our stores have become inconvenience stores because of all the thieves stealing the stores blind. I can’t blame the stores that it has come to this, but this is getting ridiculous.
” the U.S. capital continues to suffer a plague of shoplifting and robberies.”
And it all starts right there in congress.
Ah Wakanda,and you sophisticated geniuses that inhabit that magical, fantasy.
Meanwhile back here in Realville you have to digitize products to prevent wholesale grand larceny.
Black America, you should be so proud of where your race is. You have been free for over 150 years and yet you are still ignorant slaves on the Demonrat plantation.
Wake the fuck up already or just keep looting until nothing remains of your pathetic scourge of a “culture”.
Well at least the muzzies aren’t the shoplifters…
Class action lawsuit against George Sore-ass, for his D.A.s who deliberately made this mess.
Blacks need to clean up their own neighborhoods. No one else can do it for them but they seem unwilling to rectify the situation themselves.
We did that.
There was a retail store chain that went out of business some 20 years ago called Service Merchandise. Their business model was to put one item of everything they sold on the shelves, called a catalogue showroom. The shopper was given an order form to write down the product code for everything you would want to purchase and then give it to a service rep. All of the inventory was in the back of the store, and your order was pulled and then sent to the checkout area to be purchased.
They were started in 1934 and were in business for 68 years. They were a more instant version of the old Sears catalogue model, and a predecessor (way before its time) to the internet (“Insta-cart”) models. Maybe in these societal rot, democrat run cities the old Service Merchandise model could rise again.
People like Carl Kroger and other innovators, UPSET the shopping world by building stores that allowed people to see, handle, and directly purchase the items they desired. It was a tremendous innovation and labor saver over dealing directly with a clerk who got everything for you. And now we have De-evolution thanks to the presence of those who haven’t evolved yet.
Bienomics!

Sad, isn’t it. Diversity is NOT our strength, but diversity with assimilation is.
stirrin the pot – Service and convenience has always sold well. Only the tools have changed!
@Harry Eyeball – “…Service and convenience has always sold well. Only the tools have changed!…”
Yup to your first sentence, while to your second, I say change is not always for the better.
So you ring the bell, the associate gets you the item, you take it and run out the door. Is that how it works?
