Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution

People would have to travel a little further more than used to go before because people are unaware of the exact location of the store and have to find it out. People would save pretty much sufficient time and money, as people will not be thinking about where to go and what to buy and are not buying the random stuff; rather people will just go to the desired destination and shop what is actually needed.
