The Issue With Our Retail Therapy Culture
The stores cling onto you
The stores know how addicting shopping is, too. They ask for your email address, promising a coupon if you give it right now. And, before you know it, you’re sent promotions every day, beckoning you to go back in. It has that feeling of a vicious yet soothing cycle of, say, gambling or drinking. It always feels like just one more drink/game of black jack/designer jeans will fix the issue. Even though it is causing issues now.
