Do we still need a physical store front?

For what?

>>56658863
Mail systems for apartments are outdated as fuck.

I appreciate going into a store and walking out with my product. I know that it's safe and secure, but paying the same price, if not more, for the product and having to wait 4 days for it? The premium usually isn't worth the money when I can walk or bus to the store.

Obviously not Australia.

how does she get out of there?

>>56658931
why would she want to do that?

physical store front probably dont make a lot money anymore

>>56658863
>order something online
>it will be delivered exactly when you're gone

DESU if I could let all my packages be delivered to my supermarket I would never go to any other store again

The only problems with online ordering is if someone in your house open your dragon dildo package without your knowledge

yes. for some stuff you need it, e.g. tyres. for some stuff, e.g. clothes, it's annoying to have to rely on online-only stores.

buy and pick up in store is also a thing.

>>56658863
For food, clothing cause two different brands of jeans fit different at the same size, and for bulk items that are expensive to ship.

>>56659037
I imagine stores will eventually become centered around buy and pickup, and acting as a showroom for more premium brands.

I hope the stores that don't adapt die hard. Go looking for furniture and every site says "contact us for price" go fuck yourselves, just trying to size me up and see how much you can skin me for.

>>56658992
This is god's way to telling you to stop spending money on dildos and start spending it on rent for your own place instead

Next or same day delivery still takes longer than buying something in person but now erases the price advantage of ordering. So physical shops are always better if you suddenly need something right now.

Also clothes and many other things are best bought in person. Most people only buy clothes online if they have already tried it on in a shop or its something specialised.

>>56658927
>Where the fuck do you live that shit is less expensive in retail stores than it is online?
In the US stuff is still usually listed cheaper online until you factor in shipping

>>56660056
>having to spend 1 hour driving
>or spend 10 seconds picking it up in front of my door

Yes. Otherwise I'll never interact with people.

>>56660092
So your package magically appears on your front doorstep when you click 'order'?

Unless they literally fly it to your house it will always be faster to go to a shop in any normal situation.

>>56660145
Sorry I'm not an impatient nigger.

>>56660155

Either you are lying or you know nobody and do nothing. Which is it?

>>56658969
You can do this with a variety of merchants in Australia, specifically having ebay send to lockers at your local supermarket for you to collect.

I bought nearly $6000 in items from Amazon last year per their report they send out before tax season. Paid zero taxes.

I get everything from tech to toilet paper from them.

Yes. Normies won't buy everything through amazon, they're too busy roaming around on their phones laughing internally at dumb twitstagram posts.

Once self driving cars become norms, do we still need apartments/houses?

>>56667033
>do we still need hotels/motels
FTFY

>>56667033

Yes, I think so.

You can live out of your car now if you want, but it's usually not great. You don't have a shower or a toilet or a place to do laundry or a place to hook up your PC. They're also usually not very comfortable to sleep in.

Amazon Prime Now delivers within 2 hours of ordering

Maybe i'm a weirdo here, but i still like getting a tactile sense of things, plus... it kind of feels better buying something in person rather than sitting and waiting for 3 days for an order to come.

It's just nice seeing something in person.

This. If you have a parcel they ring you and you have to run down within like 30sec or they're gone.

Couriers like UPS can't even leave things in your mailbox so they'll ring you even for tiny shit.

And god help you if your ringer is broken or you're rooming with someone and their name is on the board instead of yours. You will never get your order.

Even if you give your phone number it's hit or miss if the shipper will put it on the package, and hit or miss again if the courier is even willing to use his phone to call you.

you shouldn't buy your groceries online

>>56675210
I do

>>56658969
But the supermarket is a store too...gotcha!

For some products, a brick and mortar store is a clearly better choice than buying online. I would never buy groceries online, for example.

>>56668074

amazon doesn't have a warehouse in my country. only aws instances.

>>56658887
then stop living in an apartment

>>56658863
Until you can download a design and print your item with raw materials in your home, there will always be need for physical stores because there are certain things (clothes, shoes, wearables) that you have to try on and fit.

>>56658887
It's funny because I've just recently re-appreciated physical shopping.

Getting what you want instantly. Sounds retarded since that has been existing for longer, but I was just so fixated on online shopping that I forgot.


There are still some things (like cables, fuck cables man) that are ridiculously more expensive in shops than online for some reason.

But I recently wanted to buy an external harddrive and the store (in my country, not America) had literally the same price as Amazon, but you can walk out with it instantly
