I try to buy from retail stores when possible now, but it's getting so hard.
I needed a new mouse for my gaming PC recently. I live in Brooklyn and the nearest Best Buy to me closes at 7pm. I tried to get one at Target but it was $35 online and $65 in-store (and $32 on Amazon). They said I couldn't price match against their own website, but I could buy it online and choose in-store pickup. But because the store was closing in less than 2 hours, same day pickup was not an option. Asked if I could order pickup for tomorrow and just give it to me right now, nope, system won't allow it. Thanked the employee for their help and bought it on Amazon.
Similarly, I want to buy from local music gear stores but they all close at 7pm and most are closed on weekends. I'm not taking a vacation day just to try out a synthesizer. Sweetwater isn't local but at least they're not Amazon and they're reliable.
