If a retailer decides to go the brick and mortar route, then yes, it is expected that they will provide expected services like having products available for sale and allowing customers to inspect said products. Somehow, after hundreds of years, brick and mortar stores that allow their customers to try on clothes in store have not died off, so I think it’s a concept that just might work.

On the other side, they save what, $5 in the end?  They spend gas and time driving there, spend time there, waste time and money driving back, waste time ordering everything online, then waste more time waiting 2 weeks for merchandise to arrive.  I’m not rich, but I make more than $5 an hour, and honestly, bragging about saving $5 isn’t worth my time.  But maybe your time is worth less than mine.
