Hi Margaret...
It's not just cheese shops I wonder about. It's pretty much any mom + pop storefronts + even those high-end boutique type stores. You'd THINK that, in order to stay afloat they would need MANY customers flowing in + out, ACTUALLY buying stuff -- yet that seems NOT to be the case ---- so how do they survive?!?
You KNOW the "outgo" (overhead) is VERY HIGH -- so WHERE'S THE INCOME?!?! At any given moment you'd think there would need to be SEVERAL customers in there -- but whenever I look in, there are N-O-N-E!!
This seems to be a paradox -- no?
How do these biz owners keep from FREAKING OUT?!?!
