What business chains can you not understand how they make money? For me it’s IKEA and Radioshack?

• I've been wondering about Kmart all my life, all the way back to when they were still Kresge's. Our local one never seems to have more than 4 or 5 customers in the whole store every time I go in, and I haven't been in for a long time.

• I once lived in a town where a Walmart opened right next to a K-mart and sucked all the life from it leaving a dessicated baby-blue and red shell behind.

• Not hard to believe. Their business model leaves a lot to be desired. They always staff the place with teenagers who have no clue what they are doing and maybe one adult to supervise them all, and that goes back to when my mother worked there as a teen. The difference is, kids in my mothers generation were raised to be a whole lot more adult than kids are now. And they haven't adjusted.

• People who either have salary to not care about such things,
  or people who want to look as though They have this kind of salary.
  
  Also people who go out to meet someone outside to date, meet with friends... because for some reason They don't want or are afraid to invite each other to their home. They figure sitting on a bench is not cultural, so they go to some cafe. And again they feel as though not ordering anything would be rude, or maybe just feel nervous about not ordering anything for whatever reason. (like "not coming up as cheap or broke").
