Differing prices

I actually find it to be disempowering to shop in store without having checked spec's and prices online prior to looking at the physical item. The lack of product knowledge that many salespeople have is also far from helpful in attracting customers into B&M stores. When a salesperson reacts to a question about an item I'm looking at by reading its label info I'm out of there!

Absolutely. Most shop assistants in recent years seem to be there solely to monitor shoplifting, or at least that's the impression I get. Our local appliance/tech store has most of its stock either locked up behind glass, hidden behind the counter, or locked onto the shelving. Many times when I've asked to look at something I've been given a sigh of annoyance. Once, when I wanted to look at power banks to check capacities, connectors etc I was told "Tell me the one that you want and I'll get it". I try to support local businesses but have pretty well given up in favour of on line research and purchase.
