When will the Commercial Retail crash happen?

Was out shopping at the grocery store and hardware store today.

And I was wondering, with the number of retail stores going out of business, and nobody to take their place, when will the commercial real estate market take a dive.

True story about the grocery store! I was in there about 2 years ago, and was asked why I was not using the automated checkout scanner. I looked at the bag boy, and asked him if he really wanted me and everyone else to use it? He said "that would be great, would mean less work for me"

I looked at him and told him to think about that statement for a minute.

He figured it out pretty fast. Today there was one cashier and no bag boy, just the self checkouts!

most stores in our area have them . and I see long lines at them at times, but, I don't use the self checkouts.. I am not sure if I even saved one low level job, but I will not use them, Walmart and Kmart seems to be the only stores in our area that don't push them,, Kmart actually took them out..

I avoid home depot as they seldom have an open checkout and tell you that you have to use the "self checkout" , not me, I'll leave the stuff and walk over to Lowes..

I 've made the same point to the kids that tell you you can use the self check out.. how it is thier job that will be eliminated, and most don't seem to get it.. :roll:
