Interesting data from Gallup on getting back to old habits! Here's a summary from 538

"When it comes to eating out and how Americans get their groceries, concerns about the pandemic largely seem to have abated. Dining out is on the rebound, with 83 percent saying they now eat at restaurants once a month or more, compared to 87 percent in 2019 and 74 percent in 2021, according to a July 5-26 Gallup survey. Meanwhile, almost all Americans also said they shop for groceries in person at least weekly (82 percent) or monthly (15 percent). That’s comparable to pre-pandemic data, although the coronavirus does seem to have changed at least some Americans’ grocery habits for good: Twenty-eight percent now say they now order groceries online at least once a month, up slightly from last year (23 percent) and considerably from 2019 (11 percent)."

It's quite interesting that online ordering has increased, both from 2021 and from 2019--but without taking away from in-person shopping frequency. In-person shopping maintains value even as online shopping increases. It's more true for other forms of shopping, but pro AV is part of the in-person value prop: inspiration, entertainment, etc.
