I wish Amazon didn’t treat their employees so shittily. But I really don’t want to find out which of the stores around me have the thing I want and go there by bus. Even without prime the tickets are more expensive than shipping.

Yeah that's a big thing for me. I hate having to check out 2-3 local stores to find out they don't have the product I want. A lot of small businesses have such shitty online presence.

Yeah, and shopping locally is so hit-and-miss. Some smaller stores are great, but there are also plenty that seem to act like serving you is such a fucking inconvenience. Oh I'm sorry you have to get off your phone because I want to buy something. You have to make change from £10? Sorry it's inconveniencing you that I have to bring fucking cash just because you want to dodge some tax by not taking cards.
