A TRUE statement which NO ONE has the common sense to pay attention to.
I’m a true believer in the business model of Amazon, and I do most of my shopping there. To me, the idea of driving to a store, wandering around to find what I came for, and then waiting until someone can take my money is just so 20th century.
I go to Amazon, I search, I compare, I buy. They ship it to my door. Even accepting the argument than I might find it cheaper locally doesn’t account for my transportation costs and the value of my time. I really don’t want to spend half a day shopping, and other than garden supplies, groceries and stuff it’s awkward to ship, it’s my first stop.
That said, it was a terrible decision to buy their stock last year! :)
