In-store is, and language is fluid. If you understood what I meant we succeeded in communicating, anything else is you just trying to be better than someone else.
Except language is demonstrably fluid, meanwhile it seems like your grasping of prescriptive pedantry is coincidentally just a lazy reason to try and be correct when everyone knew what “instore” meant.
Do you say “God be with you” when departing, or just goodbye?
Of course it is. That doesn’t mean every missing or grammatical mistake is an example of language evolving. Usually it’s just carelessness or ignorance.
