Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

When you have a physical store, all day people will come in, look around, ask you detailed questions about your product, tell you how much they love what you sell, and then leave without buying anything.
I think this is just the experience of selling, not just selling online.
I used to use best buy as a sales floor to view things then buy the same model on Amazon. If the sales people pestered me, id ask them questions, then just openly say, its $30 less on Amazon, i just wanted to see one in person before I bought. My laptop in like 2007 was $150 more, almost half the Amazon price in markup.
I don't want to defend specifically best buy, but that's how amazon kills competition.
Then proceed to buy it online.
This has easily been happening for at least the last 25-30 years.
Yeah, although with a proper store, you can at least still hope that they'll return in the future or tell others about your store...
