Internet companies wouldnt necessarily knock brick and mortar stores out. There are quite a few companies today that offer both internet and regular store including ordering things via the internet and picking them up at the house, Im not sure where you shop but most brick and mortar stores dont have a lot of sales people on the floor, try and find help on things at times in a lot of stores. Those same people can also be used as online help for customers on the net. There are quite a few companies with an internet presence that allow you to connect online with thier staf for help in a purchase,

Eventually, these stores might see a larger profit margin online and start closing down stores. As far as stores using less people on the floor, how many of those people were re trained in other positions as compared to just let go. I think this is the difference that we are seeing from the old days before the internet; back when you could go to a Sears store or a similar retailer and find someone to help you with your purchase. Back then, the economy was a lot stronger too. I'm talking late 60's early 70's when I was a kid.
