I readily acknowledge that I am of the uneducated, unwashed masses, but can someone enlighten me as to the meanings of tertiary retail and primary retail? Additionally, I would like to know if these terms are analogous to third world and first world, in that there is inexplicably no second world to be found between them. How about quaternary retail, and onwards?
Does partaking in the varying numerals of retail require varying sartorial choices?
Nice finds, too.
Primary retail sub group of specialty stores typically concentrate their efforts on selling a single type or very limited range of merchandise.
Tertiary retail involves the provision of limited services to final consumers.
This definition is how retail shopping applies to me. No more, no less.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mark. Now I have that clear at least; the rest of this numerology is in a muddle.
I have always suspected I am underdressed when I, on the rare ocassion, have slouched into a prime thrift store in Taos with the occasional unidentifiable movie star hidden behind large sunglasses perusing the well ordered, but prime, at least mostly, junk. I will upgrade to a reversible poncho.
I have always suspect I am more in my element in a dusty, filthy, and frankly tertiary dirt lot flea market, wearing, naturally, a food stained t-shirt, ostentatious board shorts, and Reef flip flops. (Never trust another brand of flip flops. They will blow out but not before they leave you with plantar fasciitis).
As I suspected there is no secondary retail. Just like the first world that maintains its primacy by isolating itself by one whole number.
Leif, I believe the holiest of primary retailers, Sears, featured a line of reversible ponchos in its heyday. Mexican a.k.a "real" ponchos are, alas, never so.
And, Christ, Mark. I so wish that I'd been burdened with the name "Ernest Ting-Poohsay" so that it might be recorded in official documents somewhere that I'd legally changed it on my 18th birthday.
George McFarland, good is relative. I am happy you are happy.
Codename of the Soviet spy Mikhail Mukasey, I just do not think I would like to meet anyone Nice Guy.
To the man named after a women, I am glad you refer to Jesus as I too believe in God and enjoy introducing others for judgment*. I like your costumes and enjoy Ringling Brothers.
The Icelander, your interest in global affairs may spark a desire to know the terms "First World", "Second World" and "Third World" changed from being based on political ideology to an economic definition. The three world theory has been criticized as crude and relatively outdated for its nominal ordering (1, 2, 3) and sociologists have coined the term "developed", "developing", and "underdeveloped" as replacement terms for global stratification—nevertheless, the three world theory is still popular in contemporary literature and media. I appreciate your concern and I hope numerology is used only for acceptable loses.
The Life Path 9, worshiping Sears is a a noble choice. The recognition of Mexico as a leader in poncho's ignores their high yields of avocados. Thank you for mentioning Christ at this time of year.
Thank you all for our kind words and thoughts. I am new to this forum and look forward to being an internal part. I tried my very best to understand your forum names. You are all so original and make me feel special...
