Research in multichannel retailing highlights the changing roles of the consumer andthe salesperson. In a phygital store, interaction with the technology can replace the interactionwith the salesperson. We mobilize the attachment theory and use a dual qualitative study with20 consumers and 4 phygital experts. this research provides a better understanding of therelationship between the consumer and the seller in a phygital context. The empirical studyreveals four vendor attachment situations characterized by different attitudes towardsinteractive technology: attachment to the salesperson and the technology, indifference to thesalesperson and the technology, attachment to the salesperson (reluctance towardstechnology) and reluctance towards the salesperson (attachment to the technology).
