Bingo. Haven't shop owners realized this? Some of us like going into stores to try things out but we've had great luck buying online lately with way more selection. It's not the 80s anymore. Consumers have widely adopted online shopping for everything now unless they need something literally right now and can't wait. Moving to another state isn't going to change this. Maybe the shop owner should move to another country which doesn't have great online shopping.
I feel for local businesses always, but how much longer would many of them truly be in business anyway if the pandemic didn't happen? To me, the pandemic basically sped up the inevitable for many mom and pop shops regardless of where they operate out of (low tax or high tax). Very sad but true.
