“10 Shopping Tricks That Stores Hate” is a great blog post title guaranteed to make people read further, but in truth, most stores either don’t hate them or else support them. That is, if the store is serious about building a long term relationship with its customers. Stores love it when they can blow out the left over seasonal mcdse. But they probably do hate the “shopping the store, buying online” tip. Especially if it’s another Web site.
