Only One or Two Customers

Recently, I had a rather unpleasant experience with a popular fast food restaurant, which got me thinking about something.  A company that is a giant among its peers if it falls, unless the God in heaven shows it some mercy as it falls, how terrible the sound is as it hits the ground.   

Suppose a company fails because of the lack of customers. In that case, usually, it is not because of a mass exodus of customers, but rather because of a company pushing its customer to its competitors one or two at a time. As a result, over time, the company will not be able to continue operating.

Now, if someone replies, “that will take a long time to happen, maybe over twenty years. That’s nothing to worry over.”    

Then my question will be, “what does it matter how long it takes?”  A conglomerate falling in front of you or your grandchildren is not a pretty sight.  Have you heard of Staples, Bhs, Sears Canada, Ruby Tuesday, Borders, Maplin, American Apparel, and the list goes on?  Well, they were once giants.  What happened to them?

Let’s not ignore our lessons.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
