You are a social recluse hence you buy things in bulk and what you are doing is projecting your sentiment onto others. Low consumer sentiment means exactly that, people are less likely to make purchases ESPECIALLY bulks. Here we are budget constrained and suddenly people buy hundreds of dollars worth at once? You must not be serious or you have just constradicted yourself. Besides if buying in bulk is a thing then what would stop people from buying online right this very moment? Amazon or not? Try to make sense, please. Besides when we are talking bulk, people can also buy bulk at the store that chances are only 5-10 minutes away especially since API are opening new stores. There is no logic in what you are saying other than you literally assuming that because your shopping habit is a certain way then others are the same. Priceline has sister programme, their target market is not you and yet here you are a recluse homophobic bitter far right RETIRED AND MALE assuming everyone is like you. If everyone is like you there might as well not be a single shop open because everyone would buy in bulk online. You need to get out more and get some air instead of playing pretend to be a shorting hero but invest in telstra in 2010 like a teenage boy with identity crisis, you are too old for that.
