Argos is the original, pre-Internet version of this, in operation since 1973.
In the 1990s, everyone I knew (as a child) had an Argos catalogue at home. It was simple to write down product numbers, give them to the cashier, pay, then wait at the counter for the goods to be handed to you. Depending how busy the shop was, the waiting time would be 2-5 minutes.
The website says "FastTrack" means collection within 60 seconds of ordering. That's the slight change since I lived in Britain.
