前天从TJ Maxx退货回来,突然想到的,挖出这个(@2:10,
估计美国的商店都是大同小异吧。俺们村子,
一直很奇怪,哪些东西是什么人会买回家用的?
还有其它店家比如Christmas Tree Shop, Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby这类的。CTS 在离家3mile 的Somerville circle有一个。
还有,俺们村里的Costco正对面,要开一家Trader Joe了。相距不超过80米。这还怎么做生意啊?
Only a nation of unenlightened half-wits could have taken this beautiful place and turned it into what it is today, a shopping mall. A big, ~~~king shopping mall. You know that. That’s all you got. That’s all you got here, folks. Mile after mile of mall after mall. Many, many malls. Major malls and mini malls. They put the mini malls in between the major malls. And in between the mini malls they put the mini marts. And in between the mini marts. You’ve got the car lots, gas stations, muffler shops, Laundromats, cheap hotels, fast food joints, strip clubs and dirty bookstores. America the beautiful. One big transcontinental commercial cesspool. And how do the people feel about all this? How do the people feel about living in a coast-to-coast shopping mall? Well, they think it’s JUST ~~~KING DANDY! They think it is as cool as can be. Because Americans love the mall. They love the mall. That’s where they get to satisfy their two most prominent addictions at the same time. Shopping and eating.......

Another reason for the backpacks is these people are going to buy even more stupid ~~~t. They ain’t got enough stupid ~~~t at home. They just had a stupid ~~~t sale, they’re gonna buy more. They’re going to go out in the parking lot and stuff this stuff into the big, fat, ugly, oversized SUV that’s got plenty of room in it. Plenty of room in it for stupid ~~~t and lots of room left over for these big, fat, ugly motherf~~~~~s to get them home. Stopping on the way, of course, for jelly roll and fried dough. These people, these people are efficient, professional, compulsive consumers. It’s their civic duty. Consumption. It’s the new national pastime.
