I can definitely understand this point in a way, but here's how I see it:
I will buy if the product is something I want. I won't support a store just because they are there, they have to carry something I want to spend my money on.
I like fabric. I'm nuts about fabric. So if fabric is on offer, I'll be right in there checking it out.
I might not care for their meats,
might like their breads,
might not like their selection of cleaning supplies,
might like the fishing gear,
might like the pet supplies,
might not like the children's clothing.
You see what I'm saying.
It's not my fault if they do not carry what people want, in fact if they paid more attention to what we tell them we want,
and we have no hesitation telling them what we want so they can't say they don't know,
then they would have more customers in there buying stuff.
So it seems to be a fact that WM has stopped pretty much their fabric lines, and it's a fact that this was one of my major reasons for going in there.
Now that it's gone, so is much of my reason for shopping there.
We do not owe them to shop there just to keep them open. This is free enterprise with all its blessings and faults, and that says "Offer A Product People Want And Maybe They'll Pay You Money For It."
