Well, that's possible...
But I have another example : a few blocks from here there's a tiny
computer shop that hire 2 or 3 sellers.
Next door, the same shop has started a repair shop (actually a cyber-
cafe used to be there a couple of years ago but ran out of bizness).
I pass in front of this shop at least 2 to 3 times a day and I noticed
that at least 4 or 5 ppl work in the repair shop, and there's always
2 to 3 times more customers in the repair shop than in the other one...

Wanna bet I'll never buy a PC there ?

Best,
JB
