We have a couple of big box chain stores, Best Buy, Gregg, and one

any real inducement to shop there.
If you are just shopping price, you can't bitch about how much they
pay their employees. You are the problem
Market Driven Quality ... and wages.
I do think brick and mortar for imported goods is either going to be
Walmart style operations or it will be gone, with people buying
online.
I shop at Amazon because it has a huge variety of almost everything, it
has good prices, it ships for free, and it has a stellar return policy.
It has a far larger variety of merch available for the stuff I tend to
buy than Best Buy.
I did buy my wife's new computer from MicroCenter, a brick, mortar, and
mail order store that has two stores in my area. I did order it over the
internet, though. I had no desire to once again buy pieces and parts and
assemble my own. The MicroCenter store brand is higher quality than the
Dell/HP stuff...better drives, better motherboards, English-speaking
techs based in the USA.
Oh, I sent the trigger group from my new Mini 14 to a gunsmith at a
"brick and mortar store" to lighten and smooth the pull, and install a
stop. I bought the rifle online because my favorite local gun store
couldn't get a firm delivery date from its distributor. So, I paid him
the minor rifle FFL fee.
