stay open even if they're only getting one or two customers a day - even in busier times I've wondered how they get by just with such expenses as utilities, etc. One shopkeeper (employee) told us last year that it was either she sit there hoping to get some commission out of a sale or go home & sit around with no chance of getting any money at all. Made me wonder what the overheads must be for the owners. Well, we'll be doing our best to help out those that are still open in April!!! Cheers, Sue.
