    We should RETVRN to storefronts where you can see 1 (1) of every item so you know what is available and then you put in your order. Or you just put your order in in advance. The supermarket experience of poring over rows of identical packaging is a marketing hellscape that harms both customers and workers.

      like literally just kiosk screens outside (or an air conditioned waiting place idk)

      they can literally put cameras in the bins if they need to “see” the produce or whatever, if it’s groceries, or just like idk fuck em what you get is what you get. it’s less of an issue with household goods that are essentially identical

      man, add to my complaints about wasted hours, the number of times I’ve had to painstakingly figure out how to put stuff back into a box, because some customer wanted to look inside, and if I don’t put it back just right it’ll be obvious it was tampered with and nobody will buy it
