Brick and mortar have to charge more to cover this overhead. Joe customer goes to brick and mortar, inspects what he wants to buy and leaves to purchase online "where it's cheaper". Brick and mortar store goes out of business.

So what, the business environment is always undergoing change. I am sure at the turn of the century local general stores bitched about people trying stuff at their store then ordering it from the Sears catalog. Brick and mortar stores will either adapt or fade away. While Walmart killed off a lot of Mom and Pop grocery stores and stores that sold general goods , it created many Mom and Pop specialty shops that thrive. Should we be mourning the demise of video rental stores now that everyone is streaming movies, I don't think so, it is just progress.
