So here's a somewhat odd question, so bare with me 
Are there any advantages or disadvantages to buy directly from a physical Apple store versus buying from the online Apple website? I know, seems like a crazy question but I have wondered. My physical Apple store is just about 10 minutes away so distance is not a problem. Also, I don't mean "obvious" advantages such as buying online means no need to stand in line and wait for service etc.
So are there any advantages or disadvantages that one often doesn't think about when you have the option to buy from either a physical Apple store or the Apple website? Let's say the products would be an iPhone, or AirPods, or Mac.
