It's amazing. People are learning that if you go to a store you can get what they want to sell you. If you want to find what you want to buy go to the Internet.
Like you say, it wasn't always that way, so it's not a limitation that stores can't overcome. But shopper by shopper, stores are teaching us that we don't really want to go there. They blame it on the Internet. But they are teaching their customers that their business isn't wanted.
For something like that I'd put a padlock on my wallet to avoid impulse purchases and hazard a trip to Harbor Freight. They have mondo computer toolkits of great quality for just about nothing.
