Hello Richard!

 >> A couple of young people came in to shop and said..

 RF> Yes, but did they buy anything?

Fortunately, yes.  And they bought complete sets of a couple of  
YA/fantasy stuff of which they said they could not find in a  
much larger brick'n'mortar store elsewhere. And my copies were  
relatively recent, or at least included the most recent release  
in each series.  The pair walked out with about 5 hefty books  
each.

 RF> When I operated a brick and mortar store, I had lots of
 RF> people walk in. They were all smiles and good words and
 RF> nobody ever bought a thing. That is the reason why the
 RF> store is online now hahaha.

They say a bookshop needs to offer other product such as  
coffee, or gifts, or toys, etc.  Maybe a gift coupon for a free  
horse ride would have worked for you!  LOL

But.. are you referring to your drug/health and geriatric  
products shop?  Did you close the physical shop to the public  
entirely now? I would suppose you still need a way to receive  
shipments though.
