rrlund Welcome to modern America. I bet that the tire shop closed because many of their customers would go to Walmart an "save" ten dollars on four tires. Then complain about how the local guy was a crook because he was charging too much.
It is just like you complaining about the restaurant not have enough people to serve your social needs. I did not hear you say your food was bad, too high priced, or the service was bad but you say your not going to go back again unless there are more people there. I did not know that a restaurant had to provide social company to keep its customers.
It may be that the other people don't have the money to eat out. My wife and I have not been out to eat in 6-8 months. The $20-30 dollars will buy us several meals worth of food we fix ourselves.
Another thing that is going to kill the small businesses is the generational difference in how people socialize. The younger kids don't want the same things than we did or do want in social interaction. My grand daughters will not do business much in town. I have asked them why. They say everyone wants to know all their business. They say they want to be able to eat,buy,shop without fifty questions about them and the rest of the family. They perceive the locals as out side of their circle of friends. They don't want to deal with anyone not in that circle of friends. Now these friends are Twittered and texted to fifty times a day but anyone else is not welcomed. It seems that this generation does not want direct interaction. They do it through their devices not in person. We looked at the grand daughter's cell phone bill a few months ago. (We have a big company plan that all of my sons and I bought together. It saves us big time over each of us buying individual plans) One of them had 3722 text that month and one of the others had 2996. just think about it. They where averaging a 100 each day. I had 64. I lost big time. LOL
