Last week I ordered some equipment for pickup at Micro Center. It was a big surprise when I showed up in the morning and saw a thousand people lined up to get in. The line extended around the back of the store and around temporary barriers, like a theme park. Turns out it was some kind of "grand re-opening" and they were giving away flash drives.
Happily, I was able to come back later in the day and get my order, as well as a nice commemorative mug.

I think #brickAndMortar business doesn't realize, or forgets, they're not just competing with online convenience and price. They are selling the walk and the drive that are attached to their product.

@bitboxer this looks super cool, will check if any bookstores from India have their inventory up and accessible on the web.

Forces Shaping the Future of Shopping: A Behavioural Perspective
With the expansion of the use of the Internet for online ordering and buying of products over the past twenty-five years (aka e-commerce), there has been a flow of debates, discussions and projections on the economic sustainability of physical stores. The market is now much more complex, entailing a variety of online, offline and mixed retailers with different degrees of experience (e.g., whether they originate from the digital or physical spheres). One thing, however, should be made clear: […] -

I've learned about two old-school electronics stores that were new to me in the last week...one's an hour to the south, and one's 5 hours to the north, but these days that still means they're on my shopping route.

Notre Dame: Shipping policies designed to boost online spending instead drive consumers into stores. “Under the retailer’s tiered system, a $10 order included no fee, a $30 order incurred a $7 fee and a $100 order had a $20 fee. With the shift to a flat-rate shipping policy, customers paid $7 regardless of order size. ‘We expected this would boost online shopping,’ Kanuri said. ‘But […]

For $REASONS, I wanted to buy something locally. Looking online, I ended up finding it in stock at #Visions, so I bought it there and paid online, and chose the pick up option. Because they do "free" shipping, if you pick up you get a gift card for a few bucks as a discount.
But that gift card expires in, like, a month, so I had $35 burning a hole in my pocket. I went back there today to spend it on a MicroSD card that would just about use the whole amount.
And boy, was it difficult to get them to complete the sale without giving them my name, address, and all the rest. Eventually prevailed, but ... I haven't seen this level of aggressive info collection on walk-in customers since Radio Shack was still a (real) thing.
Do brick-and-mortar retailers not realize just how off-putting this sort of thing is?

If you are looking for an incentive to curb your shopping, consider watching “Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy” on Netflix. Pretty unsettling documentary about Amazon’s unethical practices including shutting down employee dissent. Also exposes where donated clothing winds up most of the time (spoiler alert: not in thrift shops) as well as the corruption in the recycling industry.
I wasn’t crazy about the production, but the content was very eye-opening.

It is increasingly apparent that #Australian #brickandmortar brands do not have the design fortitude to ensure their #ecommerce experiences offer seamless, premium flows. Instead, they grasp and heave at every pattern and widget which they ken, frantic to ensure no opportunity should go to waste. The result is a decidedly embarrassing experience.

"Google Pixel 8a just got a...discount during Amazon Prime Day... $50 discount on the Pixel 8a."

I love and own pixel 8. It's a great device, a solid upgrade over pixel 6a. Love the tensor g3, the 256gb storage, the multiple user profiles part of stock android for completely separate user spaces.
One thing that the pixel brand could use is more physical brick and mortar retail stores. Like, google should commit to opening more physical brick and mortar stores. If there's an issue with a pixel phone, people should have a sort of "spectacle" "apple-esque" like shop to bring it to to diagnose and fix the issues.
Google had 3 stores. 2 are in new york city and one is in Boston.
What would it take for them to open 50 stores - at least one in each state?
What would it take for them to open 20 stores? - at least one in each of the 20 biggest us cities?

A recent addition to our TTRPG selection is this like-new 2017 Mouse Guard roleplaying game, 2nd edition rulebook. Also, if the '80s-vintage Marvel Super-Heroes RPG is your jam, I've got a handful of game supplements, some never-opened!
Not a gamer? Stop and explore. There's much more in-store!

Larry Flynt & HUSTLER rubbed folks the wrong way. His tools were shameless sex, brutal honesty, vulgar humor, and calling out political & celebrity hypocrisy.
His journey began with strip-clubs here in Dayton. "The Hustler" was a newsletter for his clubs–a fact usually ignored in local PR.
Of the big 3 men's mags, his is the only one still in print.

Independence from monarchy is the reason for the season. Independence means taking responsibility for the system. 'We the People' are part of the system. Our job is to Vote!
Happy Independence Day, U.S.A!

Pete Rose, or "Charlie Hustle," isn't officially recognized for his feats on the ball diamond, which he earned. His un-official activities got him banned-for-life from Major League Baseball & its Hall of Fame.
America's pastime has a code of honor.If it's good enough for the MLB, why shouldn't it apply to something as important as President of the United States of America?

6/21/24 — Welcome to Summer.
Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.This old bookrack – frail, but still in use – is in the earliest photos from the shop. 80+ year old retailer bookshelves. I've never really stopped to appreciate them in this aspect. Through the years, we've lost a few to wear and this one's fading. There are 5 more still in use, thankfully in better condition.

Is this a meme reply in a 76 year old comic book? Is it proof that time travel exists?
No. Of course not!
I couldn't resist poking some fun when I found this last night.

By request, a little flashback to a 1966 newspaper article about the shop. This story mentions Dad (Walter Bonnett) too, so – early Happy Father's Day!
We've got great Father's Day Gift ideas on hand for all types of Dads!

Sex & relationship advice in the 1970s was vastly superior to that of the '50s, which were better than the '30s... We should know. We've been here the whole time!
These seem a little mansplain-ish by today's standards, & probably so. Still useful, though. Maybe good for laughs!#BonnettsBooks #DaytonOhio #BrickAndMortar #UsedBookStore #VintagePaperbacks

It's insect season. Some are good, some aren't. These will help you know the difference. You might look the bugs up on your phone; but real books are better... You can swat the bad bugs with an old book. Try that with your phone and you could be out a few hundred bucks!

Adult Western fans, let's call this two-gun Tuesday. Passion & Action, double-barreled double entendre. Many of these series blew through like a tumbleweed. Others linger like the memory of perfumed passion after the musk of the dusty trail, numbering into the hundreds. Lace your chaps or your corset & rustle up some rollicking adventures!

Cryptic books from the cobwebbed stacks in the dark secret vault of the hidden cellar in the deepest chamber of the dank tunnels and haunted passages beneath the innocent looking bookshop named BONNETT'S. What more waits for you? Do you dare enter to examine the tomes of a forgotten age?

A few days ago I shared a 6 vol serial novel from Fawcett in '97. This is the set that inspired it, from Signet in '96. Note, the first vol of this 1st ed, 1st print set is embossed in silver. Later printings were embossed, but plain white. The other volumes are not embossed. This set is available here, now!

Funny thing... In a previous post from our wrecked shed was a box labeled "Good old sci-fi." I have yet to reach that box, and yet, the loose books from the last few posts are AMAZING! I can't wait to see what's in that box.

7/13/23 - Schedule Update / Bonus Post
The shop will be closed Tuesday through Friday next week (July 18th - 21st, 2023). I need to get some dusty, sweaty work done–which doesn't mix well with the customer service aspect of retail. Stop in Tomorrow, Saturday, or Monday if you can't wait until next Saturday. Closed Sunday, as usual. Hope to see you soon!
