I’m afraid it just may be different this time. It’s not just amazon, but the internet in general. And in the end it may just be Amazon after all.

My wife and I discovered prime and an interesting thing happenned. To wit, we don’t just shop amazon. We specifically look for Prime. I can go to Amazon and order a three dollar item and it shows up at my house. no login. No entry of password. No entry of credit card information, no shipping.

I needed a fuel pump for my lawn mower. found it in less than a minute and it showed up before my next mowing. My daughter ordered a game controller and it showed up in less than an hour.

And the prices are amazing.

Honestly, the only reason I’ve found to go to brick and mortar at all any more is when exact fit is a requirement. I broke the yoke and cross bearing on the drive u-joint for my bush hog for my tractor. It is decades old and I don’t even know the manufacturer. I tried the internet but it failed. I hand fitted the parts at Tractor Supply to my broken ones.

That is the only thing I need brick and mortar for.

And it looks like I’ll soon be able to order my food from Amazon the same way. Maybe even a standing order as Kroger does.

I do shop online for a lot of things, but I’d rather buy clothes, fresh produce and fresh meats in person.

I already buy most of our non-perishables from amazon. I’ll always want to buy fruits and vegetables where I can see, smell and touch them.

I can order everything else online.

I do all my shopping online except for food. My daughter orders food online at a local store and goes to pick it up. I got extremely frustrated when I went in local stores and someone followed me around like I was going to steal something. I went to one store and that happened so I went to another store and spent hundreds of dollars on clothes for my great granddaughter. I went in a vitamin store and when I went to check out, the cashier kept telling me I needed stuff I did not want. I have not been back.
