With all of the stores telling me that they don’t want my business if I am armed, while at the same time doing nothing REAL to prevent shootings or crime, I appreciate Amazon more and more. I can buy almost anything without having to be near the proverbial watering hole.
Yet another reason why online retailers like Amazon are putting traditional retail out of business.
Confessions of a Street Pharmacist – Amazon looks better
When you get old, you learn that some things can wait to be fixed or bought. Unless is something major that requires immediate repair, I will shop online and wait for it. It saves me on back pain and having to deal with the increasingly impolite population (Or maybe I am already the old cranky guy of lore).
Even Home Depot and Lowes have a internet booth at their locations and rather than walking aimlessly up and down the aisle, I order online and go pick it up as soon as I get the notification that it is ready.
And I get to carry.
Cranky old guy of lore….Heh.. That be me…Or as my office cell mate says “Cranky, old, …..”
Indeed, “Cranky, old…”.
People suck.
I’m 50/50 on the online vs. brick store debacle and only for some items that are difficult to evaluate with just pics on a website.
And yeah, a good percentage of people out in meatspace suck and not in a good way.
“…appreciate Amazon more and more. I can buy almost anything…”
I’ve taken this to an even more extreme, I have started to get some of the cheap/inexpensive “Made in China” items directly from China cutting out the middle man markup.
