goofyfoot: might want to be wary of triggering unintended consequences as in the Seinfeld episode “The Mom and Pop Store.”
Kramer convinces Jerry to send his sneakers to a "mom and pop"shoe repair store, insisting that it is important to keep such stores from going out of business. Kramer takes all of his sneakers, leaving him only a pair of cowboy boots he was gifted. While at the store, Kramer's nose starts to bleed. When he lies down to stop it, he notices wires hanging out of the ceiling and advises Mom and Pop to call an electrician. Mom and Pop can't afford to bring the electrical installation up to the building code, so they close the store and disappear with all of Jerry's sneakers.
