Can y’all slow down a bit until I get some more popcorn? Camp chairs…lol.
Btw Rick is right. Amazon is like the monster that is slowly swallowing everything and everyone.
Give it time and Amazon will continue to undercut other onlines, where they cannot, will become fewer and farther between until they have a monopoly (its close already) and then hold onto your @ss and wallet!
I’ve been sucked into it, half the time when I go to an actual store can’t find what I should be able to reasonably buy off the shelf and order it on my phone as I’m walking out the door, wishing I’d done that yesterday so I had it today when I wanted or needed it.
Recent example is even medical supplies, literally no way to purchase certain items except online. and when in a crisis like we’ve had recently, who gets em to your door first? Yup good ole Amazon.
Or yesterday, don’t have time with what’s going on at home, stop at Autozone for a can slam of AC recharge for one of our old cars. Wanted to get it working before I loan it to family next week cause it’s going to be hot out. Can’t buy refrigerant as a consumer in WA anymore. Or from Amazon. Different reason, same result. I will HAVE to support some online retailer on fleabay to get what I need. Far more political than Amazon related but same end story.
Problem is it’s hard to stop. It’s the new “general store” but with a lot more chinesium junk mixed in with the good stuff. Anyone who is still fooled by a pic on the internet and somehow thinks magic is real, I feel sorry for.
