Who wants to go to a store anyway when 30 seconds of shopping can place the order for the products on Amazon and it will be delivered the same or next day?

I went to buy razor blades yesterday. All of them were locked up. It takes forever to hunt down an employee (floor staffing is still way down), then they need to go find the key.

To get the $6 off on the blades, I had to clip a digital coupon in the Walgreens app on my phone. The iPhone was running out of storage and had offloaded the app, so it had to re-download to my phone. Then I got logged in and had to use the same phone number that is on my Walgreens account. Was it MY mobile? My wife’s mobile? Our old home phone land line? All told, it took about 20 minutes to get the blades and do all that crap with their app. It was the third merchant this week that made me get their app to get their best price.

Shopping has become an enormous PITA.

Clearly, that one Master's degree you have in Computer Science wasn't enough! You should have tried bypassing the compressor and diverting anti-tachyons through the main deflector shields!
