Call me crazy, but the best way to combat an overheated economy is to consume less. And if we cannot do it on our own (and we cannot) then the result will be an increase in prices that will in turn help us consume less.
I hate the service at most retail places these days, so I have a choice - I can put up with it, or I can serve myself, but actually cooking for myself etc.
Beyond that, most big box stores are self serve anyway, now Home Depot is almost 100% that way. And if you really don't like going into stores, the internet is a great way to go.
Finally, let your $$$ do the talking. If you go to a store and get crumby service - don't go back - find a better place. There are still great stores in this city - you just have to be a little less picky.
