We have stores where we can purchase things, and then we have their online channels where we are buying things also.

Fried chicken and waffles. Burritos. Spaghetti and meatballs. On a recent visit, I planned on having a sandwich, but the menu gave me pause. Maybe I really wanted breakfast.

Telegrams first gave way to the telephone which were then made obsolete by smartphones. Everything around us is evolving and so is customer service. Most businesses today have three or four channels of communication that allows customers to reach to them via phone, email, live chat and so on.
