They recommend doing our shopping at one of the many "mom & pop" stores found locally, and who, of course, are advertisers in the magazine. My issues with most M&P stores are that they exist only for the benefit of the owners. They have no interest in opening early or staying open late for the hoards of us who must leave the valley for work. Most M&Ps are left in the care of the SCV's teenage workforce who have little to no concern for what the consumer wants and needs. So yes, I'm sure these stores are a dream for the owners, but a nightmare for everyone else. If you want my money, you need to be open when I can shop. Having an adult on the premises is a pretty good idea too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
