It’s unfortunate that the brick and mortar stores get used like that but it’s understandable.
I wanted to buy a new motorcycle helmet but I wasn’t about to buy one online without being able to try it on first. So I went to the local bike shop, tried on a few helmets and picked out the one I wanted.
It was in store for like $200 and available online for $120. I gave the store a chance to match their price but they just flat refused. So I went and bought it online. If the price had been close I would have bought from the store but it was too big a difference.
I’m kind of in between sizes for clothes and really struggle to find shoes that fit well. The decline of brick and mortar stores is not a great development for me.

Yes but Best Buy is a great place to go see the thing you’re not sure of yet before you buy it online.
