23. Many retailers are playing a dangerous game

Sat May 23, 2020, 10:20 AM

since there is plenty of competition for customers. Depending on the type of business, people could easily shop elsewhere if they choose. This goes for customers who want to wear masks or the ones who don't. Not the best time to be losing customers. There are always online retailers for many items, who would be happy to take business away from some brick and mortar stores.

And we are in the golden age of grocery shopping, with more options than ever before. So it's usually not hard to find a different grocery store.
