My opinion is most of the store have missed the boat and Amazon will clean up while stores like Macys, Home Depot, Lowes etc will eventually disappear. The only stores left will be food stores like Shaws Hannafords Ralphs etc. Associates will then be forced to work minimum wage or less doing menial jobs like picking and packing in huge warehouses for the online giants.
Sales roles at retailers like Gucci will remain. Less need for an online presence as authenticity of the product and the status factor of interaction (in store or in home) is still valued.
