Why would anyone want that? If I’m going to go so much as 15 minutes out of my way, I expect to leave with the item in my hand that day. That’s the killer advantage for brick and mortar retail.

I don’t even want to go to the store the first time, but I sure as hell don’t want to go twice if Amazon offers the same overall latency with zero trips to the store.
