While you aren’t wrong, sometimes it’s just really nice to browse through a store and see what they have. I can scroll through Amazon and Etsy all day, but going into a store just brings a different, valuable experience.
I feel like a big factor here is that it costs Amazon basically nothing to add another item for you to scroll through. Brick and mortar stores are naturally more restricted so you get a more curated inventory. One thing I like about shopping at Costco is that I never have to decide if Xyzxel or Bimdang is the more trustworthy brand.
I can tell when something is a piece of shit when it’s in my hand.
If I want to return something i got online I have to get my fucking inkjet printer working (or go to a Staples) to print the return label from my email and then go to the post office and ship it back.

Amazon Canada is overpricing a shit ton of their items compared to other stores as well.

Nice experience doesn’t pay the bills for a store owner who has more overhead than an online store.
You’re not wrong.
