Going to the physical store to buy something for my business is probably about 90% a waste of time.

Pros:

1. You “maybe” get your item today

2. You get a good opportunity to drive and listen to some #bitcoin podcasts

Cons:

1. Item not stocked, but website was unclear

2. Spend 15 minutes looking around the store for the item you want.

3. Buying something that is “close but not perfect”, and in the end you have to order it again online anyways.

4. Taking the time to drive, and wait in traffic

Take the time to do your research at home, and order it online!

Stores have phones. Call and ask a person. Get their name so they can be held accountable if they mislead you.

True, that helps sometimes. I think a key realization however is it is hardly ever worth it, and that time is better spent doing something productive at the office instead of impulsively trying to get some item *today*

yeah, i'm very inclined to agree, although on the other hand some ecom sites have so little info that you don't know if you are even going to get what you mean to buy

You could just order stuff on AliExpress! It’ll take a month to get to you, and the price including shipping is less than the morning cup of joe, but at least you don’t have to go into a big box store!

Pros:

3. Stores are KYC-free

I ain’t payin with cash and I don’t wear a full face mask to the store. Not trying to hide from anyone

What's your name and home address?

Unfortunately that info is out there if you choose to look for it
