Hey guys, have you noticed that the big supermarket in front of your house seems to be less lively lately? Doesn't it seem strange how those places that were once crowded with people can be crowded overnight? Don't worry, let's talk about this topic today and see what mysteries are hidden behind those big supermarkets that are closed.
First of all, we have to mention the "invisible hand" - the epidemic. I remember at that time, the virus was like a troublemaker, and the whole world was shut down. As people stay at home, online shopping has become the new normal in their daily lives. E-commerce giants have taken advantage of the rise of the situation, such as Jingdong and Taobao, these platforms have directly moved the supermarket to the mobile phone screen, and the shopping cart is pulled, and the things will be delivered to the door the next day, how convenient! This puts a lot of pressure on brick-and-mortar supermarkets, after all, who doesn't like to save trouble and worry?
Then, there's the issue of efficiency. Think about it, you can wait up to an hour in line at the supermarket to check out, while online shopping can check the logistics at any time and know where things are going at any time. Isn't this a contest between time and convenience? Jack Ma's sentence "Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, and the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but most people die tomorrow night and cannot see the sunshine of the day after tomorrow", which is what he said about the challenges brought about by this change.
Furthermore, what we cannot ignore is the issue of internal management. In some supermarkets, the management is chaotic, the price of goods is high, and the service attitude is poor, and customers will naturally be lost. Corruption, although we don't want to admit it, but there are indeed supermarkets because of internal moths, and the money is not earned, but it loses its wife and soldiers. Isn't this what the ancients said, "Internal and external troubles, the building will collapse"?
Of course, there is also fierce competition in the market, new brands emerge one after another, and consumers have more choices, so they are naturally less loyal to established supermarkets. After all, everyone likes new things, just like the saying "running water is not rotten, the hub is not beetle", shopping malls are like battlefields, and if they don't change, they will die.
It's not all bad news, though. Some supermarkets are starting to transform, such as turning into community service centers to provide more convenient services, or turning to the high-end market, focusing on quality and experience. You see, change is always happening quietly, it's just that we need a pair of eyes that are good at discovering.
In general, the closure of large supermarkets, the epidemic, e-commerce, and corruption are only the surface, and the underlying reasons behind them are complex and diverse. Life is like this, full of variables, but we still have to be optimistic, because "life is like the ocean, only the strong-willed can reach the other side". As for the excitement of the past, maybe it just exists in a different way.
What do you think, old friends? Have you also experienced the ups and downs of supermarket shopping? You might as well share it in the comment area, and let's reminisce about those stories together. Finally, don't forget to like and retweet so that more people can understand the truth behind this, after all, every little story in life is worth thinking about and spreading.
