Weirdly, innovation is happening among Baby Boomers, and younger shoppers.

Among Baby Boomers businesses, I've witnessed a ton of innovation designed to squeeze every last dollar from customers who are about to retire.

Jennifer-centric businesses just seem petrified of Amazon. It's hard to innovate when you're scared ... it's the "Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs" thing.
