it’s already happening. Stores have a crappy selection, but boast that you can shop 24/7 online, and when you dont find what you want in the store, they can SHIP IT TO YOU. This will crank up the cost because now you’re paying for tax AND shipping.
Just another exmaple of getting far less for far more.
Yeah; I mainly shop online and with a little research, the stuff at the mainstream stores are boring, repetitive, and are certainly not good quality.
