Retail stores have started to move to the “Service Merchandise” store model. Remember those from the 90s. Non functional products on display, order n wait for it to come down the conveyor. Today u order on line, inspect in an enclosed secure booth, pay or return product, then you’re allowed to leave.

Hopefully the Service Merchandise model will not degrade to the Soviet three-queue system:

1. Stand in line to try on a jacket.

2. Stand in line to pay for the jacket.

3. Stand in line to receive the jacket.
