Do you guys really rely on Amazon so much that one week without feels like a protest? Seriously?
I will admit it's been super convenient if I need shampoo or toner or drinks or dozens of other things to just take 60 seconds to order it from Amazon and it's here in a couple days. Well it used to be. Now things often take many days to ship. I canceled Prime about 6 months ago.
You just listed things that you can pick up at any number of local stores. That stupid convenience of ordering crap instead of just adding it to the shopping list is why people think going a week without using Amazon will "disrupt the system." This is exactly the problem.
Yes but when I live 40 miles from a city and hate wandering around multiple stores looking for things they may or may not have. But I know I need to change.
