There are still some things you might want to buy in person. Fresh produce, for example, or clothing. Especially clothing. A lot of people like to try on clothes before they buy - they want to see how it looks on them, they want to check out the quality and weight of the fabric. Plus, if you're picky about color there's no substitute for looking at something in person.
I realize you can effectively do that online by buying a bunch of stuff and returning what you don't want. But that's more of a hassle than just going to a brick and mortar retailer.
- paulpauper 9y agobut once people know their size and brand they don't need to keep trying it on
- gozur88 9y agoSure, if they buy the same brand. But styles change. Not everyone is like me, still wearing the same brand (though sadly, not the same size) of jeans I wore in high school.
- s73ver_ 9y agoI don't know about you, but I don't only ever buy one brand/style of pants. Hell, even if I wanted to, often by the time I need more pants, things have changed. Either the brand/style combo is no longer available, or I've gotten fatter (or skinnier! It has been happening recently!).
