So I'll go buy a bunch of books from them as a way of saying, I don't need the books.

I'll just go buy $1,000 worth of books.

Go ahead.

Let's grab it.

Let's go.

Why?

I want the guy to stay in business.

We'll go to Barnes & Noble.

We probably spend $10,000 to $20,000 here at Barnes & Noble.

Why?

It's a way I want Barnes & Noble to stay in business that's local to me, down the street from me at Fort Lauderdale.

I want the guy to stay in business.

Restaurants that you go to.

Like, for example, the moment this one restaurant called Angelo Elia shut down, I can't tell you how much it dramatically changed my life in a negative way.

Tom, how many times a week was that Angelo Elia?

Be honest.

How many times a week was that Angelo Elia?

Do you know how many great ideas we came up with, Angela, in that corner?

So a small business locally that's part of your life that shuts down affects you.

So now you mean to tell me you're worried about AI replacing jobs that now, how are those guys going to come by and buy from us?
