I may sound like an old geezer but I too remember when there were stores where the merchandise was well-selected and the people who worked there knew about what they were selling. Shopping these days is so soulless-dreary-uninspiring, both online and most brick and mortar. I avoid shopping as much as I can!
I despise shopping. I have always been an outcast in my group of female friends and acquaintances. I do precision shopping for clothes. Get in get out. Unless it’s a book store then I will browse for hours.
I've known we were kindred spirits for some time now.
my bookstore habits were so notorious that if I was with a group of friends and we passed a bookstore, I'd see their eyes darting around in panic as they whispered "oh fuck no...Levine wants to go into the bookstore...we're NEVER getting out."

Thank god for home delivery!
Haha, yes. I consider it the lesser of evils (maybe an overstatement!)
right on again!
was shopping (except for books and records) EVER fun?
And models.
the worst thing is shopping for clothes.
and worse than that, going with my mother when I was little while SHE bought clothes.

You would love Powells Bookstore in Portland. I can spend all day in there and wish I’d brought my toothbrush and sleeping bag
other people have told me the same thing. I order from them frequently. sounds like a great place.
It is. I think you would love it.
And kindred spirits we are David
