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.

chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 1 month agoYeah, 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!

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

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.
