Do you agree that the BORIS (buy online, return in-store) process likely creates profitability challenges for retailers?* These are the questions that various retail experts answered in one of [RetailWire’s discussions](https://retailwire.com/discussion/are-stores-set-up-to-handle-a-wave-of-online-returns/).

These designated hours, with varying times by location, feature a quieter environment with no overhead announcements, music, and reduced walkie-talkie volume. The remaining store in Milwaukie, Oregon, plans to implement this initiative in 2024. **Consumer trends. **Consumers, particularly those under 45, are keenly interested in leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for [cost savings in grocery shopping](https://www.grocerydive.com/news/grocery-dunnhumby-consumer-trends-tracker-personalization/698616/), budget management, and receiving personalized rewards and suggestions, according to the latest Dunnhumby Consumer Trends Tracker. The data indicates that younger shoppers are more trusting of AI and express a greater desire to engage with retailers using this technology.
