Interview:
Do you think that the model is an accurate representation of the store—why or why not?
- The dimension of the store look right
- The item could be more packed
- Maybe could stag the picture to make it look more crowded
- Still a few missing items
- Need to add the cashier
Did you ever think about all the other different stores in NYC selling similar items but at different prices, etc?
- Definitely
- But feel like Chinatown souvenirs are much cheaper
- Other tourists attraction would definitely be more expensive
How much rent do you think the other store in this area pays per month?
- Don’t know but think it should be the same
Do you notice economic inequality in NYC —does it seem to be getting more extreme?
- Even though Chinatown stores are much cheaper, places that are more of a tourists place with much higher price would still get more costumer and money
- More money you have, you can buy a better location
- Not fair in the part that, small stores wouldn’t be able to get a good location if they don’t have a lot of money —> no fair chance to compete with other stores
