Broken retailers


In our world, everyone has a job for the sole reason of making money. Sure, some have a passion and love what they are doing, and perhaps that's the way all should feel, however the money is the primary reason of showing up to work every day.

Although this fact may be true, it is much clearer when viewing the line of work of stock brokers or investors. They clearly couldn't give two hoots if the company they invest in does well or not, all they want is their money.

Sure if you invest with amazon you want them to land a jackpot that day, but tomorrow when you move on to another company, amazon's well doing is on bottom of you're concerns.

It used to be that if you sold shoes, you cared about shoes. Sure you sold it to make a livelihood, but you had some sort of shoe interest.

So when the shoe store on Kingston Ave. started selling memory cards and digital camera's, i was sure that the owners interest in shoes changed, and now likes electronics.

How shocked i was when he now moved back to shoes!!!

I guess he - like the stock market - wants to make it clear, that all he cares about is money!!!

You see, like the market, he is also closed on Sunday.
