Do we really need such shops though? It's like being concerned about horses, when more and more people drive cars. Only thing I buy in a corner store is probably bin bags and something like water if I forget to put it in my bag before leaving house. Everything else I buy online because I can compare, read about the product, watch reviews etc. when in store being on the phone looking up products is not comfortable. We should accept that certain era has ended and look how these store owners could transition into online world. If a corner store was online, I could order that bin bag and they could just pop it in through my door few hours later.
