Our operation can’t be done from home. Someone has to process food. We have sanitizers at each door with a sign. Other than that I wash my hands a lot and send people home that are sick.

silentbob Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 First case(s) have hit my city. We know one is a doctor, and possibly passed to his wife, who worked in a hospital the next city over and caught it from there I can see myself being home for 2 weeks or more very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a really good podcast episode (I forget if it was Planet Money or Freakonomics) on this topic. The reason is essentially two fold...One, the overhead for mattress stores is incredibly cheap: they centralize all storage and salespersons work on commission, so they only have to sell 8-10 mattress a day to turn a profit. Second, it plays into how high ticket retailers consider density and market share; once the optimal location is found by one retailer, it behooves you to saturate it (same reason car dealers cluster).
