@DW2 You go into a store, strange smells abound, ancient tinsel and Halloween memorabilia lies strewn across the aisles. As you go into the back you see candles and foodstuff of brands you've never heard of. Strange off brand cleaners. And, perhaps even tiny, cheaply made versions of cleaning supplies, such as brooms. All barely stored in a presentable manner, much of it simply laid on the floor or haphazardly placed on a shelf or rack. You find something you think is worth purchasing and head to the checker. Four of the five lines aren't in operation. A fifth is barely working as a single middle aged Mexican or elderly White works it. It takes twenty five minutes to check out with your less than two dollars worth of goods. The rest of the customers are purchasing a similar amount of goods. You realize the single worker's hourly pay even at minimum wage is more expensive than what the store moves in an hour. You then realize if the entire store's inventory moved it wouldn't be enough to equal out to its monthly expenses.
