Why is it useless otherwise?
- michaelt 7y agoI can't speak for Paraesthetic, but in more normal circumstances in-person retail regularly has a smaller selection at higher prices, and the quality of help from shop assistants can be variable. It's not the shops' fault, it's the economics of the industry. Economies of scale mean for some products, Amazon's retail price will be lower than the shop's wholesale price. Cashflow and volumes make it hard to stock a broad range of expensive items like CPUs and laptops. Competent help can often do better than retail wages and working conditions.
