That suggests a really sorry state of things, not something to copy. Online payments shouldn't be harder than physically going to a store and paying for the item.
Why ?
It's probably more energy efficient to have trucks going to the few branches for pickups than to every single individual house.
I don't see why it "shouldn't" be, especially since it's optional

The really sorry state of things are people ordering toilet paper &co in same day delivery on amazon because they can't bother walking 5 min to the closest store
Is this a serious question? Why should online payments be so difficult that it makes sense to spend even 2 minutes getting out of the door and walking to a store directly across the street? You autofill your card information and click "pay".

But why? It's cheaper on Amazon.
Also all the stores trying to railroad me into buying delivery instead of just telling me which store has it in stock.
