Why is it that you walk in for a bunch of cilantro and walk out with a bag or two full of other groceries?

When a mom browses houses in Orange County, a thirty-something signs up for the free dating service on Zoosk, or a guy clicks through the open nursing positions in Philadelphia, they are setting foot in the digital store in search of one thing, but open to many other options, if only they knew about them.
