People actually used to carry "baskets" 
Remember retail stores? They were local caches of consumer products, owned by individual people who stocked them based on predictions of demand. No, really, some of them were great. People used to visit them for fun. That's what "shopping" originally meant.

isn't ~91% of retail still brick and mortar retail?

Besides, when brick and mortar becomes just 1-5% of retail, seeing the objects before you buy them will only hold more mystique and cultural power as a luxury good in its own right, so "shopping" could even shift to only(!) mean a trip to view in person.

Retail is still valid businesses, just not in North America with its highways + supply chain. In central/south America, Africa, etc, you will find that online stores are impossible due to the logistics of delivery. Billions of ppl are just now moving into retail experience.

It will be a while before Amazon beats the real Amazon.

Like newspapers, they will still exist for a few decades (though to a dwindling population) because they enrich communities and are more emotionally satisfying experiences (tactile, not just visual) than Amazon could ever be.

Is this a tweet that has time traveled back from 2050, because in most of rural India, that's still what shopping is in 2018?
-
I think that's still true for most of the world. However, the trend is very clear...
