Products, for sure, are not in short supply at Shaw's. Every crevice of the store contains merchandise. Priscilla Bowen, who worked at Shaw's many years ago and has been friends with the Savelas since 1956, appreciates the wealth of merchandise that can be found at the store. You could spend two hours looking in there and not see everything they have. You can't see everything the first time around.
Dresser understands the reason.
When I was working there, I'd throw something out, and he'd go back in the trash and rummage for it. It may take him a moment to find them, but one of the charming things about the store is that customers love to help you find stuff. In the future, I see the store as pretty much the same, but I'd like to reduce the inventory and do a little bit of reconstruction to update the appearance. What would update the store most is a computerized inventory system, as Shaw's still keeps track of all its merchandise with pen and paper. Resistance to change, I guess.
