Read a couple of articles in the past few weeks about the transformation of previously closed clubs into e-commerce fulfillment centers. Aside from the fact that I find this advertising in the media that Sam ’s is creating a couple of hundred (mostly seasonal) jobs a little perfidious, given that at least that much long-time, hard-working associates were let go at those same locations, I fear this is a beginning of a trend. More and more clubs could have the same faith as the share of e-commerce sales grows. Think that every worker aside from the ones working highly profitable clubs at top locations needs to be afraid.

Ooooo you used a big word!
That sounds good and all, but there are several of the clubs that closed that did not become e-commerce. They were sold off and being renovated into other places.
