"E-commerce didn’t kill bricks-and-mortar stores, but it made them worse. Much worse.

Physical stores today are understaffed and full of inconveniences such as locked shelves and self–checkout lines. Now, add one more gripe to the list: not enough stuff.

If you have ever trekked to a store only to be told the item you are looking for is out of stock but can be ordered online, you aren’t alone."
