And, call me old-fashioned, but I enjoy the feeling of being able to go into a place and walk out with what I want rather than having to wait for it to be shipped to me. The internet provides greater variety than I could ever imagine, and is wonderful for things I can wait for, but when I go to an office supply store because I’m looking for a notebook and get told “We don’t carry them anymore, but you can order them from our online store!” I want to punch the floor so hard it causes an earthquake.
Even when malls were fashionable the only reason I ever went to one was because it was the closest location of a specific store.
