Yeah, convenience is a big deal, but I think it’s time for people to grow a conscience and take an inconvenience if it means not supporting assholes like bezos.
Comment on And you will never catch up as Bezos make 8,000,000 per hour

Convenience is an umbrella term. There are a thousand different reasons people choose convenience and not all of them are synonymous with laziness. Single parents, working multiple jobs, with disabilities that limit mobility, lack of a car, not enough time to make a trip on public transit, lack of public transit options in their area, and countless more.
The ability to just choose to take a bunch of extra time, or take a car to go pick up an item, is a luxury and a privilege. And all that just to spite bezos and make you happy? Not reasonable.

Yeah, especially if you don’t have a car. Going across town to buy one little knick knack can be an all day affair, with 2 public transit fares included.
This may explain why Amazon is much more popular in North America than Europe: public transit. So if you want to stick it to Jeff, work for better public transit and more walkable cities!

Sadly not having a car is my big reason. Bus stops don’t always get me where I could grab the items I need… and fuck I hate amazon.

Also a lot of areas in major cities don’t have large general shopping stores, like Target. It becomes an hour long trip and transfer while hauling whatever you’re buying.

Outside of cities, your choice is Walmart or 4 hours of driving to get to the next big town.
