Pay online, "It's so simple"

Dad's upgraded to a new PC and the old scanner doesn't work with XP. No problem, he'll buy a new one. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. We look at a well known PC retailer (WKPCR) website and decide on a model. We go to the store. That model's not there. Right. Dad likes a Canon but there's no box under the display shelf. We ask. Sorry, out of stock. Right. We go home again. Dad looks in a catalogue of a well known high street retailer (WKHSR) and finds a similar Canon, almost identical. Good, we'll buy that one then. Dad phones and they're out of stock. Right. I Froogle the Canon we saw in WKPCR and find it online (now we're talking!) at WKPCR and it's much cheaper online than at the store. Why? Don't care. We'll buy this one online, then we don't even have to go out! Oh, we already did that...

So the actual subject of this post begins.
