On line shopping is a win-win for the retailers.

Currently retail stores require people to work the store with takes up space and they have to ship the merchendise to the store. Lose the square footage that is costly, lose the retail employees, lose the shipping cost.

They already pay the warehouse employees so they will get to keep their jobs, they will just be shipping items individually. And guess what? You the customer gets to pick up the shipping cost.
