I used to love flipping through stacks at record stores. In college, I would go to the three record stores downtown and burn a whole afternoon doing it. Now, when I do come across an actual record store, I just can't be bothered to do it. I've been ruined by instant gratification of online shopping or streaming.
But I do enjoy browsing my physical collection when trying to decide what to play. So the idea situation would be a local store with good mail order and knowledgeable staff so I don't have to support Bezos.
