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.
