Our one employee came warily out of the back. He was always skittish with me, and if Lizzy wasn’t around, h made a point of keeping his distance. I think he was expecting me to make a pass at him.

I offered my most enticing smile, the one I’d been perfecting for years. Sincere and encouraging, it brimmed with counterfeit confidence. My smile had earned me forgiveness when I deserved none, a seat in first class though I’d only paid for coach

There’s a value in that space – rent, overhead, staffing costs, etc
There’s a value in that space – rent, overhead, staffing costs, etc (that has to be paid back by a certain number of inventory turns per month. In other words, the onesies and twosies waste space. However, when that space doesn’t cost anything, suddenly you can look at those infrequent sellers again, and they begin to have value. This was the insight that led to Amazon, Netflix, and all the other companies I was talking to)
