Bull! You are wrong on all counts. Remind not to invest in your e-business!
1) There are cetain items for which this is important but many for which it is not. I would never buy cars, or furniture, or groceries off the net. But one book, or CD, or video is just like all the countless others. I don't need to touch it.
2) I don't want to be face-to-face with a pimply clerk who doesn't know anything about the products in the store. I know what I want. Send it to me.
3) Shipping takes time, but so what? If I need the item immediately, I may head out to the store for it, but usually I can get it shipped quicker than finding time to head out to the mall.
4) $4 is chicken feed. It's worth the $4 to not have to fight traffic to get to the store, fight for parking, fight the crowds, fight the line at the register, and then deal with a cashier who wouldn't know how to make change if their life depended upon it. And I'd rather pay the shipping fee than sales tax -- principal of the thing.
5) Total bull. I've had cash stolen and it was gone. I've had credit crads stolen and it cost me not a cent. Cards are much more secure than cash and everyone I know uses them much more than cash.
Methinks you need to get a little more experience with the real world before making statements you obviously know nothing about.
