needed some face cream and plastic bags. it's 11.40 am and i ordered them on amazon with FREE SAME DAY delivery. supposed to get them by 10 pm.

what is even more insane is i had up to 5 pm today to order them and still have them delivered by 10 pm FOR FREE.

i understand nostr:npub19wdg9zgna9zmyv25qefrcrjh3grkht2kag7yafunzwf0wrg63g7qsmlx5z point about how Prime is a Ponzi scheme but many Ponzi schemes have outlasted their doubters ...

for local box stores to compete with Amazon they will need to switch to 24/7 operation because if you can wait a few hours why would you waste the energy to drive to a store when you can have it delivered to your door ?

had a talk with a moron in the gym who couldn't remember his lock combination and told him to get a lock like mine where you set your own combination. turned out he bought his lock at home depot because he's too dumb to use the internet, and they don't sell locks like mine at home depot.

i guess there is still customer base for box stores but anybody with a living brain cell will use Amazon.
