Most of what I order online are one-offs that would take hours to find locally, if it was even available. If you’ve ever spent an entire day with someone who was looking for a candle that was a specific size, color and scent, you’d understand. No she didn’t find it, and no we didn’t date very long.
Some things are great online, office supplies, electronics, pet supplies. But some thing you need to use your senses on which you can not from a computer, clothing how does it feel, how does it fit. Fruit, vegetable’s and meats, how does it look, feel and smell.
I considered online ordering. But, I too enjoy the actual shopping, especially if I can find a electric cart with a good battery. Otherwise I can only get the absolutely necessary items. Of course, I could go back to my car, pull out my smartphone and order away. Although I’d probably have to wait for 3 hours to give the pickers time to gather my things and drop them off at the pickup space. What we need is a good drive through grocery store.
Silly, silly, you can disturb the ’bjesus outa live chat folk, try it on amazon sometime when ya gotta return something, the Indian(dot) customer service person can be driven nuts until they disconnect on you(been there done that)…

You can have the best of both worlds: You can do your shopping in store, and buying on-line.

This misery seems kind of like a self-inflicted choice.
She could still choose to go out to the store to bother innocent people.

I can’t trust a store shopper to select good produce and no dented cans…

You have a troll standing in front of you. Have him show you how to bug people online.

That’s the trouble with Being Up-To-Date, Broomie. It means you have to sacrifice some of the Old Ways, even if you used to like them….
