Me neither, far too risky at present. Either I will shop online or go without what I might have purchased from a shop until later.
The further decline of the high street this will be, something we will all have to live with I reckon. Businesses will realise the benefits, they will need to have warehouses and facilities for online shopping but will not have to pay out extortionate business rates, as they probably do presently for high street shops. The younger generation, well-used to technology and shopping online, are future customers and they already shop in this way so will possibly welcome this kind of change.
