I feel the same way, but the thing is, there are plenty of things I need to buy and will need to buy someday that I know nothing about, and would very much appreciate the expertise of a proper salesman (not a salesman in terms of the coffee-voiced dolts we're so accustomed to, I mean a real salesman) when making my purchase decisions, and you just can't find them anymore, with rare exceptions.
I don't know if that would save many businesses, but it seems insane to me to take that one point where Amazon literally cannot compete on, and obliterate it.
- lotsofpulp 9y agoUnfortunately, it's just not feasible. Salespeople are just not necessary for many day to day purchases, and the costs of a giant big box store don't work out. Also, the information obtained from various online forums, reviews, websites and youtube could be more reliable and complete than from a salesperson. There are specialized products where a good salesperson can do wonders, but just not for much of retail.
- FussyZeus 9y agoWell I was picturing specialty retail and things like dealers, not really big box stores. I think big boxes are doomed, and I think we're better as a society for it.
