Cars & car parts, food, gas and clothes are still purchased almost exclusively in person. Those are each a massive percentage of spending.

That tracks. I wouldn't trust e-gas either.

Seriously though, I was thinking on how I had to stop and get cat litter, milk, and cereal on my way home today when I read what you posted. While I get some consumables online; pet food, filters for my odd-sized vent, and until recently Hello Fresh; I mostly buy consumables in person.
