John'S Household Store

Often when shopping, we're presented with a choice between humanity or automation. Community or "convenience". Take these new key duplication machines that have been popping up in large stores for instance. A neat idea, on the occasions that they actually work (and granted, their sign is tidier than my chalk-board scribble). But the machine won't go the extra-mile to serve you like a human, it can't problem-solve like a human, and it certainly isn't redistributing the money y...ou put into it back into the local economy, like a local-business-running human will.
I, for one, reject our new robotic overlords.

Many hands make light work.
Fixed up two broken pastel blue lamps for a customer - the fittings were broken and cord/plugs needed replacing. A simple fix and they're saved from the landfill 👍
