Ja, I have used this option perhaps a dozen times in the past five years.
It has the advantages of internet shopping, plus you still get to go down to
the local merchant and check out the women shopping in their sparkly red
underwear.  Best of both worlds.

Life is goooood.

One of the things I was going for is to create a work environment which is
completely self-paced so that there is no supervisor watching people work
for an hourly pay standard.  That hourly business is a terrible way to
compensate employees.  Everyone who has ever worked on any job with many
employees knows how inequitable this is.

We could imagine a system which eliminates so many of the costs.  Low level
employees could be paid by the job, which favors instead of penalizing the
eager energetic teens, who are seeing it ever more difficult to find
employment.  If you have the whole thing as membership only, owned by the
employees and members, it eliminates the headache of lawsuit risk by a
sexually harassed employees for instance.  It encourages employees and
customers to set up the business of merchandising in a way that makes sense
and is efficient.
