I did almost all of my shopping online this year. However, when I did venture into a brick & mortar store, I noticed that the number of sales associates was reduced. I wanted to buy something and couldn't find an associate to help. No one was around.
That's because you and a lot of other people are shopping online. You reap what you sow.

The number of sales associates in stores has been drastically reduced for quite a few years now - 10-12 at least - well before shopping online became as popular as it is now. In most department stores, the number of salespeople was cut in half before hardly anyone shopped online. The cut-back on check-out and floor staff may be affected to some degree by online shopping now, but the real initial fairly drastic cut-back was for economic reasons that had nothing to do with online shopping.
