I think when you include on line transactions, (now, I don't know if you needed to be in stores themselves, or just on line to get special deals, cause I don't shop on line much) ....you will see that sales actually increased. If the deals were online too, then save time and gas and use the computer..also, I am guessing there were special online deals too. So, direct shipping from warehouse to customer saves everyone time and money. No shipping or unloading at the store..Maybe I will buy online....
