Re: think of the children!

Somewhere in the world is a town. There are no residents. Tumbleweed blows down the main high street. This high street is populated by all the big brand name shops. Each shop has a single part time staff member and a full range of products. They are sold at exorbitantly high prices. Business rates are non-existent as there are no local services. Sales are zero, profits zero. Costs are minimal. BUT LOOK!!! Every other branch in every other town offers 50-60-70 even 80% DISCOUNTS, BUY NOW WHILE THE SALE LASTS (forever)
