    On the subject of the big chains putting the little guys out of
    business......I am beginning to see signs of a revival of smaller
    shops here and there: the hardware store that sells screws or nails
    by piece or weight rather than by the carton (who needs 500 tenpenny
    nails when a dozen or so will do?)...or the small deli-grocery that
    you can run into for a carton of milk without having to walk miles
    through a supermarket to get to the milk section and wait a year on
    the checkout line......and the compounding pharmacy that can
    actually mix special prescriptions that you can't get in these big
    drugstores..I hate the big office supply stores where you have to
    buy paper clips by the thousand and paper by the ream. The
    impersonality and the indifference of the salespeople to their
    merchandise and their customers is really depressing.  I eagerly
    await the return of the neighborhood store where they know their
    merchandise and they know their customers and they provide good
    service.
