Rugs for Sale

Within the last month or so I changed the path on my walk to the train from my office. It is kind of a big deal for me. I am a creature of habit so I rarely change anything about my day. I don't like to make unnecessary decisions. If I keep my routine the same I will not have to make more decsions than absolutely necessary. On my new path I walk by an Oriental Rug store. It is on the corner of Grand and Franklin. The rent can't be cheap. I have never seen anyone besides the store owner in it. It makes me wonder what he does all day. I can't imagine the bordom. The picture above is not him but thats what his store looks like. A small old desk and rugs EVERYWHERE. Sometimes he is on the phone, but otherwise he is just sitting there. I don't even see a computer or a TV. Maybe he has a breakroom somewhere in there. It is interesting how many of these stores there are. It seems like there are more stores than there could could possibly be demand for rugs. Being a business school graduate, I do vaguely remember something about supply and demand. Unless he is buying the rugs for $5 and selling them $5000, I can't see how he is making ends meet.
