Indeed! Heck, my elderly parents even do a lot of online shopping. My dad
needed new pants and shoes. My mom ordered them online and that saved her a
lot of time. She did look in stores and couldn't find the shoes anywhere.
She could find the pants but one pair here and one pair there.

Yes, I do go to Target almost every week but our store is one of the smaller
ones. The last few things I bought from them were not even in stock in my
store. Sure it takes me a few days to get the order if I order online
but... That's better to me than having to drive to some other city. I'll
do it if there is an immediate need but I try to plan ahead so there is
rarely an immediate need.
