It's had three different owners over the years, Vietnamese, Chinese and then I think Chinese again

I haven't visited the place for a while as I moved further away recently, but a white family bought the place around a year ago and now the shelves are bare and the place looks set to shut down for good.

just find that really funny for some reason.

I mean, a failure to manage a store doesn't really hinge on skin color. There's plenty of failure in all of us.

Correct. It's just funny to see when I've had a lifetime of people trying to convince me that white people are somehow better at everything

Which this proves. No other race was able to fail, it took a white person to fuck this up. No one else had the skill.

I can also accept that it's a particularly difficult time to keep the doors open. It could be gentrification, they could be losers, it could be the times.

Sometimes you get poetic justice and other times shit happens.
