688Shopping online verses Traditional Shopping

One thing is certain and that’s the way people shop. Traditionally people shopped at little corner stores. Year’s age it was the mercantile store, which was in many, cases the center of town. People from out side out town would make trips probably once a week to get supplies for the week of in many cases for the winter. People that lived in the outback brought winter supplies. In our own generation we all remember going as kids to the local corner store.

At times our parents sent us to pick up things such as eggs and milk when the house whole ran short of these things. Now you can buy groceries on the net with the click of a mouse. O how have things changes. We remember the local merchant in town. He was the one that had all of the buying power. You bought your products from him or you didn’t buy them anywhere. He was the only game in town. In many cases he owned you in  a sense because much of the time people borrowed the products and charged them in advance. Them the payment was made at the end of fishing or harvest season. His prices was nor negotiable. And people had to buy at his prices.

Today things are quite different and wee can thank the modern advanced of technology for that. We can say that we like the old days but in reality I don’t think many of us would when to go back to the ways of the past. Today the power is in the hands of the consumer.
