03. Will there be stores and shopping malls? If so, how would we be able to shop when merchandise is floating in the air? (A K2S Question)

Yes, eventually as ordinary humans start to live and work in space, there will be stores of all sorts and it would be reasonable to assume that eventually there would be something like our large shopping malls. To prevent the merchandise in any store from floating away, new hold-down technologies will need to be developed, like magnetic strips, and perhaps some existing technologies can also be used, like Velcro strips or bungee cords.
