Retail shopping for mundane items is a dead art.

I've found that for a lot of groceries, the online shopping prices are just absurd compared to the in-store grocery store pricing.

For gadgets and such, online is pretty good still, though a maddening amount of crappy knock offs to wade through...

Online groceries are rough ATM. Other countries manage it. We need online-only grocers that just have stockrooms and they need competition. We'll never be able to comparatively pay shoppers to shop our food in regular markets, it takes hours and at minimum wage, that's not ideal.

If someone makes automation around it, that would be pretty slick.
