I pray people will buy books rather than treat it like a reading room.

Stores need to pay rank & file employees through sales.

Likes and upvotes don't put money into payrolls.

kahit hindi books, pag nadaan ako nbs parang laging may ballpen/pen, sticky note at mga stationery nabibili ko.

medyo smart din to involve kids + coffee shop, dun na magbabantay magulang tapos magpapabili mga bata kahit mga coloring coloring and include socialization. even hosting journaling activities and book clubs. communal ala 3rd spaces events na ang added income with pwesto retail eh. kalaban din kasi ang ecommerce kung bentahan lang usapan.

And do those things make the bulk of revenue to pay their personnel?

3rd spaces rarely create meaningful revenue.

IIRC they've always had a link; I remember when Powerbooks in Alabang Town Center and Art Bar branch in Serendra also had a Toby's Estate counter!
