désaccord


Explanation:
Je ne connais pas bien le contexte mais on peut supposer qu'il y a des désaccords entre ceux qui font leurs courses en boutique et ceux qui les font sur le net. Il y a en quelque sorte deux écoles et il peut y avoir des frictions/désaccords entre elles.
Mais cela reste une suggestion

neutral  Tony M: I don't believe this is literally between groups of people; I suspect it is more about physical 'conflits' between the various activities taking place simultaneously.

disagree  Daryo: the "frictions" are between the procedures when selling online and in physical shops. That much can be figured out fairly easily.

  -> Daryo, some of your comments are really superfluous when you disagree. You can disagree without being unpleasant
