- 45:35And
- 45:36so,
- 45:36you
- 45:36know,
- 45:37you
- 45:37think

- 45:38TJX
- 45:38experience
- 45:39or,
- 45:39you
- 45:39know,

- 45:51store
- 45:51footprint
- 45:52blindly.
- 45:52So
- 45:53I
- 45:53think
- 45:53that
- 45:53we
- 45:53should,
- 45:53you
- 45:54know,

- 47:47the
- 47:47macroeconomic
- 47:48conditions
- 47:48are
- 47:48perfect
- 47:49for
- 47:49it
- 47:49to
- 47:49happen.
- 47:50It
- 47:50hasn't
- 47:50happened
- 47:50yet.
- 47:51And
- 47:51I'm
- 47:51not
- 47:51talking
- 47:51about
- 47:52your

- 47:53goodwill,
- 47:53which
- 47:53we
- 47:54all

- 48:01that
- 48:01is
- 48:01omnichannel
- 48:02in
- 48:02nature.
- 48:03Perhaps

- 48:05resell
- 48:05in
- 48:05a
- 48:06different

- 48:08where
- 48:09the
- 48:09next
- 48:09economic
- 48:10rung
- 48:10will
- 48:10go.
- 48:11Right.
- 48:11There's
- 48:11off
- 48:12price.
- 48:12But
- 48:13resell
- 48:13is
- 48:13even
- 48:14more
- 48:14advantageous
- 48:15economically
- 48:15than
- 48:16off
- 48:16price
- 48:16if
