Customer satisfaction with retail has dropped for the first time in four years, according to the American Customer Satisfaction Index — except in the subcategory of e-commerce.

This reflects the growing popularity and convenience of e-commerce, said ACSI Director David VanAmburg. The contradictory scores are also a reflection of larger trends, he said.
