I’m sure Best Buy has looked at this idea.

Actually, I bought a laptop last Christmas. I looked on-line. I looked at Best Buy. Same price. Naturally I bought at Best Buy.

Brick and Mortar stores HAVE to be competitive with on-line retailers. I would even pay a few bucks more to have it the same day and avoid shipping costs.

I think that is largely true today.

I remember some years ago I was looking for a book at Barnes and Noble. They didn't have it. The helpful sales person told me they could order it for me and have it four weeks.

I said, "Do you realize that Amazon can get it for me in 2 days?"

"Well, maybe you should shop there!" she snapped.

Challenge accepted.
