Sneakers
Just sneakin' around....
A while back I made a comment about body soap being locked up behind a locked glass door in the local grocery store.
Yesterday I went into WallyMart to get a flashlight. I knew where they were specifically, in the camping area. Went there.... no flashlights. There was an employee in the aisle, so I asked him. He leads me over to another aisle and points to a big display case with a lock. For flashlights. He had to open the case for me to look at an item I was interested in.
If things don't change, I foresee a day when you have to use an app or kiosk to select an item, and it's brought to you at the checkout. Maybe even no checkout, it's deducted immediately from your pre-approved account and sent to your home address. No more shopping as we know it, no browsing, no hands on. Some will say that's ok, but I'm old school. I want to know what it I'm buying if at all possible.
