  "the rise of online retail has made the expense of doing IRL business prohibitive. And so, rather than going to a local bottle shop for my craft beers, I have them sent to me once a month." What? Who does that? I go to the store to get my beer, books, clothes, etc. etc. In fact, the urge to leave the house (I work at home) means that even things like food that I might otherwise prefer to have delivered, I go get in person since it's an excuse to leave the house. Sure, I have some subscriptions, but most of my shopping for stuff is very much IRL.
