Your favorite store

[SS-18 ICBM]

What three (no more, no less) things would this brick-and-mortar establishment sell?

For me it would be books, puppies, and smart clothing. Three lovely things I like I need to try out in person. Video games and electronics I'd rather buy online. I could have picked food products, but I'd rather not get them on my other favorite things.

Food. I do not want my food delivered. I like to look at it, sniff at it, see if it makes me "feel hungry". It is also the ultimate common denominator. Every other shopper at the grocery store, no matter their age, ethnic background, education, income...anything; at the grocery store we are all alike and cannot deny our common ground.

Parts and tools. There are times that just looking around Home Depot allows my mind to hit upon how to fix or improve something. A slat from a vertical blind, cut to length, turns out to be the perfect filler for a cat door installed in a wall a little thicker than it was manufactured for. A replacement grate for a barbecue grill is the perfect door for a custom built dog crate that fits the back seat of my car. Neither of those things would be known other than by wandering through the store and looking at things.

Computer games. I am extremely annoyed that it has become pretty much impossible to walk into a store and walk out with a game whenever I feel like it.

Electronics, food, and beer.

Sorry, read not.


EDIT :
I'll take books and beers from the store.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Electronics, food, and beer.

If I could get beer delivered on a regular schedule that would match consumption I would never go to the store for it.

 

[Kyriakos]

Only things i buy on a daily basis are some snack food/drink and cigarettes. So most supermarkets cover those already.

 

[Perfection]

Left shoes, right shoes, shoelaces

I'm sick of having to drive all over town

 

[Narz]

In my ideal life I would never have to goto a store.

Farmer's markets, craft fairs, order an occasional piece of hardware or food online, maybe Costco once a month & an occasional thrift shop.

I really dislike stores & shopping.

 

[Hygro]

That store be pinatas, icecream, and fireworks.

 

[Spidernova]

Tabletop games, Baked goods, coffee.

 

[Lohrenswald]

I want to be negative
screw this store, I don't want a store
I hope it goes out of business

 

[MagisterCultuum]

A brick-and-mortar establishment should sell bricks and mortar. Masonry tool like trowels can be the third thing.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

That store be pinatas, icecream, and fireworks.

Why fireworks? It isn't like you can tell the really good ones by looking at them anyway. Seems like an ideal internet store product. You could even have video to see what you are getting.

 

[Hygro]

just look at that horrifying picture of the store we get to fill. it screams fireworks.

 

[BvBPL]

The local antique mall is pretty swell.

 

[Terxpahseyton]

Books, coffee, baked goods. An olfactoric orgasm of comfy. In honest, putting my noise in a can full of coffee beans, in between the pages of some books (has to be right kind, other books smell bland or even vile) and baked goods provides for the best smelling sensation I know, leaving women aside.

 

[Synobun]

I'm rather indifferent, personally. Although I enjoy small, specialized stores, I find that I prefer big establishments that have everything you can think of because it means I can limit my "being in a crowd" experience to one location in one block of time as opposed to moving from crowd to crowd in shorter, more repetitive segments.

But, if a store absolutely needed to sell three things and three things only... I'd pick a cafeteria (bread, deli, pre-made foods), vegetables, and bulk staples (such as rice and lentils). Food's important.

 

[shadowplay]

I'm pretty sure I'd be looking for a combination pot dispensary/taco bell/mattress store.

 

[Borachio]

Yup. Food, beer and shoes.

I very rarely buy shoes, but when I do, I want to try them on first.

 

[JollyRoger]

Sex, drugs, and rock & roll.
