Macy's stores are in malls. Rampaging gangs have made malls dangerous. People now order on line.
People order online because they think they are getting a deal.
If you think online prices are cheaper than offline, think again
Then, with so many Americans working more than one job many don't have the time.
I notice Amazon wasn't part of the study.
When you live 45 miles one way from the closest mall, or specialty store, you must figure in time and fuel costs...plus, honest to God, on the stuff I would go to the city to buy, I get the same product, or close enough, on Amazon for at least half price savings.
Since 80% of the population of the US live within 200 miles of water, your analogy fits for only a small percentage of consumers.
Sorry to blow the rest of your diatribe.....what did you do before Amazon et al?
Did without while making a list and drove to Springfield when the list got long enough or the need became dire enough to warrant the trip.
Unless retailers are floating your merchandise up to two hundred miles away living 200 miles from water has little bearing on this discussion. Living 200 miles from the coast does not preclude in any way living an hour from the mall.
