I like to shop in brick-n-mortar and actually see the product first.

Best Buy doesn't carry, in-stock, small gadgets like dongles and converter widgets someone would need immediately.
(Or they are are at very inflated prices..like huh..put back on the shelf..huh)
Walmart and Meijers and Staples do.

Unfortunately my only other local electronic store is MicroCenter, which is a 1.5hr drive each way.
-The manager hints of a bit of SJW. Several times in the past I've been handed 'obviously-incorrect' products by unwashed sales staff who were emphatic "this is what you need!". A PC monitor cable with one end being micro-HDMI for instance.
-Their website has in-store sales only and is sometimes ambiguous as a product being in stock.
-I don't want to drive three hours and wait in a covid line outside in the cold for something that was sold out.
-They even don't have a phone number to talk to anyone.
