That's bad if you are running an independent bookstore, but not necessarily if you are buying books.
Supermarkets have almost killed off independent greengrocers/ butchers/ etc..., but have resulted in a broader selection of items, and shops that are actually open when I have time to shop.
Should there be a fixed price for cauliflower and bacon?
