Most of the things you have listed are beneficial to the customer, but a burden for the employer. So the reward of the brick-and-mortar store, for jumping through all these hoops, is that it gets put at a price disadvantage to its internet counterparts. Why is that fair?

As the playing field gets tilted, their will be fewer and fewer brick-and-mortar stores. Think how many people go to these stores to see the actual products, then purchase them online.
I think it's sad that the brick and mortar shops are petitioning to impose the online retailers with taxes rather than fight to lower their own taxes. It's like a shackled slave seeing a free man, and instead of yearning for his own shackles to come off so he can be free, he yearns for the free man to be shackled so it's "fair".
