11. Dollar`Stores are hurting too..

A manager was interviewed and he said that since their merchandise SELLS for a dollar, the shipping costs of the merchandise is already built into the prices. When delivery charges go up significantly, they can't just arbitrairly raise the prices.. (They actually can, but... Anyone remember WHY Motel 6 was called Motel 6?)...

He said that mostly POOR people shop there, and they are buying less..

Malls will be ghost-towns before long...
