This bit about the big box stores is where I'm at. There's a Target and two different Walmarts near me. There aren't any mom and pop independent stores. Everything is a chain.
That's pretty much my life as well, any local stores that were decent went under 20 years ago. Anything left is a specialty store or boutique that costs 20% more. Sometimes they're worth the added price, but not for many things.
