That stung me early on, too. The Bricklink cart only persists as long as
your browser is pointed at the store. If you leave one store and go to
another, the cart is gone. If you are doing comparison shopping, you
might want to create a wanted list, then go to the store and Bricklink
will show you what they have on your list:

The objective would be to find stores to do as much "one stop shopping" from as possible. This could also make searching the site less tedious, from a shopping point of view.

5 Man's days are determined;
you have decreed the number of his months
and have set limits he cannot exceed.
7 "At least there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
8 Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump die in the soil,
10 But man dies and is laid low;
he breathes his last and is no more.
-Job 5,7,8,10 (NIV Bible)
