I would not say that it "goes away"... but it may reduce the frequency of it occurring.
Playing Devil's advocate:
Sally goes into the store, sees the last item and places it in her
cart. Simultaneously Jane places the same item in her online cart.
Jane completes her transaction while at nearly the same time the clerk
scans the item from Sally's cart - item errors because there are no
more in stock. Now, what does the proprietor do? Tell Sally she
can't have what she has had in her cart for the last 30 minutes? Will
the system be able to handle the situation (over-rides etc...) And
will they be able to order another widget and back-order the online
transaction? etc. etc...
