Which would be statistically worthless even if we were only talking about one store, which we weren't.
Why would it be statistically worthless even for the one store at which the data was gathered?
Because it is only one data point. It's like I would ask you if you're feeling good and you complain about a headache and then I use this to conclude that you suffer from headaches 100% of the time.
Poor analogy. Actually it's like you visiting me 24 times and one time finding me with a headache. You could then conclude 'Eric Stevens has headaches'.
