This has been a tremendous fear of mine since childhood, but I'm quickly getting over it at 50, because NO store (aside from the grocery store) ever has what I need when I go. Brick and mortar can't compete with online and excessive options. Sure, it's great that there are 762 flavors of vodka (or whatever), but how is a Mom & Pop supposed to carry even one of each? Even large chain stores seem to always have something close or similar, but never what I actually want or need. I hate ordering certain things online, but I do it cuz I know they'll have exactly what I'm looking for and it'll be here soon enough without wasting gas and time.
