The Issue With Our Retail Therapy Culture
It’s roped in with “entertainment”
Visit a hotel and ask for a brochure on the local sites and you’ll be given a list that lumps in dining, entertainment, and shopping all together. As if shopping is, in some way, a cultural activity. As if we travel hundreds of miles to visit another city’s enter large retail store here. Since when do shopping and entertainment belong in the same category? Sure, you pay to see a play or a movie but at least those things can enrich your soul and give you something far more meaningful than a purse can.
