Clicks-and-mortar gripe

CompUSA gets it, but B&N doesn't.

At the former, when looking at a product you can enter a zip code and it'll show you the nearest n stores and if they have it in stock or not. Really annoying, since the store closes in about 30 minutes and I'd really like to see if they have what I'm interested in in stock before bothering running over there (as for why not just order it, I'm on vacation and it wouldn't get here before I left).
