Comment	Jimmy's maw might not have an internet connection or a credit card. [Only 50% of households in Scotland with incomes below £15k have an internet connection](https://www.cas.org.uk/system/files/publications/internet_access_in_glasgow_2015_final_-_aug_15.pdf) and [1 in 8 adults in Scotland do not use the internet at all](https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotlands-people-annual-report-results-2018-scottish-household-survey/pages/7/). Many people on universal credit won't have any way to pay online. Again, keeping all clothes shops open isn't necessarily the answer, but closing them all could have some quite adverse impacts on already vulnerable households.
