Likewise, we want to keep jobs/wages but buy where things are made cheaper.
NO arguement. If I went and browsed Borders, I bought what I found interesting from there. Same with B&N. I did not browse there and then buy online.

If you have a good store, of ANY type, if you do not buy from them, they WILL go under.

I see the same thing in thehobby world. People want a store with everyting stocked, so they can run in when they need it NOW, but then they want to make all their normal purchases online. And whine with the store closes.
