"...rather see products on 25,000--30,000 Walmart,CVS,Walgreen,Rite Aid stores then online..."
Really? Do you actually think that is the best choice? Currently, it's the only choice. Now there is another choice.
I was wondering where you got that number "25,000--30,000" stores so I looked it up on Google.
The actual number is 26,037 combined stores of the four chains in the USA, based on the latest info, some of it from 2018.
At latest count there are more than 30.3 million diabetic sufferers. I am no expert on diabetes but I'm willing to guess that every one of them would prefer the new low-price leading strip if it were available.
So there are about 26 thousand stores to service about 30.3 million sufferers. That is approximately 1165 customers per store.
Multiply 1165 times the number of trips back and forth to EACH of 26K stores to pick the product off the shelf. I would suggest there is a whopping big cost in fuel, time lost, etc. doing it your way. A hidden logistics cost to the consumer that can not be avoided.
Contrast the current scenario with the one being introduced. Logon to Amazon, find the product, buy it with a credit card, and specify delivery by drone. Then wait an hour and go pick it up on your front doorstep. I say that is an incredible advance in logistics, available ONLY to online shoppers.
OK, I understand your position completely. You like the status quo, the old way of buying: picking from shelf VS. delivery by drone.
I am certainly NOT here to tell you how to buy the product, or to determine how it should be sold. All I am saying is that you are definitely about to end up on the wrong side of history. Probably because you have always been an anti-technology Luddite, or whatever.
In any case, Good Luck...
