Virtual shopping seems a truly miserable experience.
To replace original shoplifting, shoplifters should organise mass looting of Amazon warehouses and then claim shoplifting as a defence. It’s essentially the same thing.

It's like an electronic Sears catalogue, not like GTA where you use an avatar to walk around a virtual building and try stuff on before you buy it. There's some apps for that, or I've seen commercials for apps that claim to work like that, but this isn't it.
Let's say you just spent a lot of money loading up on food for a month and extra stuff.
Ordering a month's worth of food will be considered 'suspicious' and trigger an alarm. You'll be labeled a survivalistprepperdoomsdayermilitia-type person!

Cool.
But...all those virtual stairs....exhausting !....They really need to add virtual elevators.....
Completely immersive shopping where you are basically a blob of a person and just exist online.
Well, the shoplifters will have to get renamed to porch bandits.

Don't know if this is true but it's a pretty funny way to deter shoplifting these days.
