Lazy America at its finest
http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/lookLearn.do?cat=-13415&edOid=105455&c=1&cm_sp=sitewide%20banner-_-24%20minutes%20or%20$24%20gift%20card%20PICKUP%20GUARANTEE-_-see%20details

:eyes:

WHAT is the bloody purpose of this??! Seriously, I can not think of a single argument that makes this anything other than the biggest pile of crap I've ever witnessed in my life. Am I missing some incredible subtlety? Is having the opportunity to shop online, but then still GO TO THE STORE where what I want is ***WITHIN 24 MINUTES OF PURCHASE!!!*** :o going to improve my life so significantly that my poor wee feeble human mind just can't thus far comprehend it?

I give up. x(

1. I like the idea of being able to pick something up quickly at lunchtime
but beyond that...

???

This, I think, is an example of lazy America at its finest:

4. What is lazy about that?
I may get one of those. Would be nice to roast garlic without having to heat the whole house up.

May be more energy efficent too.

3. comparision shopping
Finding something and being able to research it on the internet to see if it is a good product and/or a good buy.

Really, I don't see anything wrong with this at all.
