Blog 3B

What do you prefer? Online or Brick-and-Mortar? Why? What advantages does each have over the others?

I personally like brick and mortar stores primarily because I can see the project that I am about to buy.  This especially applies to buying food and most of the time clothing items. However there are certain things that I would rather buy online: like specialty T's and some electronics. I switched to buying the majority of my anime online, I spent weeks looking for my Esca-Flowne in stores. Every store that I went into did not even know what Esca-Flowne even was, until a clerk told me that it was not going to be in stock anymore. I was forced to buy it online and I was actually surprised by how fast it actually arrived in my house, but the best part was not having to look at people who were looking at me as if I was wierd for asking about something they didnt recognize. My brother actually orders most of his electronics online, they dont take a long time to arrive to my house, and he says that he enjoys not having to deal with employees who sometimes dont even know what they are selling. However sometimes, mostly clothing departments, you can take others with you so if you are looking for something to wear you can always have the second opinion when you need it.
