The ONLY reason to go into a brick and mortar store is if you absolutely have to have it right now.
Big stores like Target, I totally agree. But for lots of specialty items (bikes, quality shoes, quality clothing), a brick-and-mortar can still offer expert assistance to keep customers. Sure, you can buy all those things online, and mine the collective opinions, but a seasoned sales professional can help you pick out what's right for you, not what the masses rank the highest. Unfortunately, I don't see that value-add model working for anything in Target, or even Best Buy, who's sales team, in my opinion, tends to know little about the products they sell.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
