Let them die
These annoying businesses need to go.
Cupcake shops
When did this trend switch from sweet to sickening? When meatloaf cakes with mashed-potato “icing” entered the mix.
Fruit bouquet chains
Wow, thanks for this lovely…assemblage of fruit impaled to resemble flowers, which will turn brown in two days and cost at least $50 more than bulk berries at Jewel.
Pet boutiques
Do we really need another painfully precious pet store that offers yarmulkes for Mr. Cubblebutt?
Card-and-tchotchke shops
A greeting card shouldn’t cost $12, nor should there be one that congratulates your friend for getting his dog spayed. And those hand-painted slabs of ceramic that claim “back door guests are the best”? That’s not a gift. That’s an invitation.
Megabars
Note to all three-tiered monstrosities with 75 flat-screens and 16 kinds of chicken wings (none of them edible): We want our corner sports bars back.
American Apparel
Having a single location of this slutty T-shirt shop in the city is one thing. But now that it’s opening one in every neighborhood, we’re beginning to feel dirty.
