I don't know why folks have these romantic/nostalgic
notions about "Main Street Shops".

Main Street has higher prices, minimal selection,
often outdated merchandise, and a surly returns policy.

If you long for the small shoppe experience,
try doing all your grocery shopping at a Circle-K or a 7-11.....
