1. Their organization makes no sense. It's not organized by price or colour or type or brand or style, it's just laid out in a way that looks nice. I find that it's impossible to find anything because I have no idea where to look (Exceptions would be stores like Winners or Marshalls which are actually organized properly and easy to shop in).
2. The sales people stress me out. I don't like it when people come up to me and ask me if I need help or interrupt me every two seconds talking about their sales. If I need something I will ask someone and there are always signs all over the stores advertising sales so there's no need to bug me about that either.
3. The other shoppers make me anxious. I'm not good in crowds and I don't like feeling stuck in one place. It seems to be that whenever I'm looking at a rack of clothes there's always someone who comes right beside me and starts looking at the same stuff I am. Then I can't focus on looking at the stuff because I'm too worried about being in that person's way so I end up just moving away. If someone is looking at something I like I'll just go look at something else and wait until they left. It makes shopping turn into a strategy game instead of an enjoyable experience.
4. It's expensive. In stores, it seems like all the pretty, stylish looking stuff is always really expensive. The sales aren't that great either. It seems to be whenever I shop in stores I spend like $100 just on one outfit, and that's at cheap stores.
Why I Like Shopping Online
1. Everything is easy to find. You can look at things by price, colour, type, brand, or style. The layout of most sites is really nice and easy to navigate making it simple to find what you want.
2. There's no limit to your shopping experience. You can buy things from your town, you can buy things from across the country, or you can buy things in a completely different country. You aren't just stuck with what the stores in town are selling you can buy things from anywhere in the world.
3. Sales are amazing. As long as free shipping is available, there's no reason to think that online shopping is more expensive. In fact, I've found way better deals online than I've ever seen in stores. Recently I got $90 worth of clothes for only $60! I saved so much money and got so many cute things.
4. No people. Let's be honest we are becoming more and more of a reclusive society. Everything can be done through our phones or computers these days so there's no need to interact with anyone. People can have just about anything delivered to their house and they don't even have to get off the couch. In response, online shopping has become a huge thing because it's so easy to order something online instead of having to drive all the way to the store and searching through all the merchandise, most of the time not even being able to find something you like.
5. Prolongs the shopping experience. In stores, it's find something, pay for it, have it. But with online shopping, each thing is kinda independent. You can look at stuff one day, buy it another day, and receive it later. You get the fun of looking, buying, and waiting. Plus it's fun coming home to a box of stuff you ordered online. It's kinda like Christmas being able to unwrap everything and see how it all looks.
There are pros to shopping in stores and there are cons to shopping online but in my personal opinion, I'd take online shopping over in-store shopping any day. Mainly just because it's always a really fun and enjoyable experience. Plus everything I've ordered has turned out great, well except for a pair of really cute shoes that didn't fit but buying shoes online is quite tricky plus I got my money back so it worked out. So yeah online shopping is my newest obsession.
