It bothers me as well that some here will not take the time to consider buying in their communities first, even if it means paying a higher price because it is brick and mortar.
This is one of the reasons why the big cities have a disproportionate share of the vote and why the cities were able to have their votes become more important than less urban areas.
Dude, do NOT go there with ME. Buying in my retail wasteland of a community?
SNORT.
Pard, I literally cannot do that most of the time thanks to choices my local retailers have made. For instance, nobody around here stocks tall women's clothing? What do you want me to do. Run around in high water pants? If a local retailer wants my biz, they can carry what I want or need at a price I'm willing to pay. And on price I am fortunate enough to be flexible. But if they don't have what I want or need in the first place and/or are charging an insanely markup, I'm damned if I'll settle for less when I can easily get it elsewhere.
