i may be off-base, but i've more-or-less come to the conclusion that all but the huge LQS are out of touch with the times. they seem content to cater to women who don't need to work outside the home to make ends meet.
first clue? their hours. the nearest shop to me is only open 4-1/2 days a week! it opens late and closes early. by the time i'm done work, it's too late to go. that means if i want to shop there, i have to arrange my whole saturday to their convenience. none seem to be open on sundays.
it's a bit of a shame, really. although her prices are higher than most of the places i shop online, they are (1) lower than a great many of the hoity-toity online shops; and (2) often "low" enough to compete when i need something special and want to buy in-person.
i guess my money isn't green enough to count. :lol:
