	That's the crap the "down town" stores always pulled. So
what happened? People built malls open 9am-10pm, people went there
instead and "down town" went out of business. I figure these stores
that are open only 9-5 must make all their money around lunch when
many people seem to be able to get there - and it must be a heck
of a lot of if they can get by with such lousy hours.
	Those stores that do this have forgotten the golden rule of
retailing: the customer is king. They will pay in the long run.
