I have to be one of the very few people that don't use Amazon all that much, maybe 2 times a year and I always get someone to use their prime for me. I hate shopping on the website. It's cluttered with too many options. I like seeing a thumbnail of something, ONE price and add it to your cart.

I went from not buying anything on amazon from a year ago to literally buying almost everything. Their prices are pretty much as low as it can be and they have everything all in one place. It's especially great if you have a family. Like they even have some bulk items that I can get for the same or lower price as Costco. Plus the shipping, their customer service, and reliability.
Places like Amazon and Wal mart actually dont have the lowest prices.
Pricing in retailers are always varying so if price is concern its best to always do a quick search on google to see all of the places selling the item. IMO Amazon is simply just convenient as hell which makes people spend a ton with them.

there's more evidence that white collar jobs are gonna take a greater hit to automation when compared to blue collar
It's already beginning. Hell, BILO has mostly self check outs, while there's like one or two cashier lanes. Future dystopia is having in front of our faces brehs. Either you get them book smarts and defeat the machine, or fall over to rational credits for survival

Automation will take over everything in our lives like in Walle the movie. The problem is that what if something goes wrong breh? if we become overly reliant on machines then one small problem will cause disruptions in food distributions for example and we got people dying all over because we never cared to learn how to fix it.

People are starving in this country right now without machines/automation, and that may be the case in the future depending on how things play out
if America continues it's negligence, it's nationalism, racism/white supremacy and that the only thing that matters at the end of the day being how many dollars or stock options you've gained, then it's well on it's way to creating misery with HAL and Drones over brooklyn
however
there's also the possibility that we can create an AI that outpaces and excels at what humanity has felt as a just society, but that element would have to be programmed into it from it's inception
this article kinda goes on to what I'm talking about
Silicon Valley Is Turning Into Its Own Worst Fear
B&M stores really need to invest in the BEST customer service possible and that may mean hiring more people during peak hours and having items available. Nothing kills loyalty like the lack of the aforementioned. Hell, we sent people abroad in Europe to teach American CS and forgot to teach it here! Good luck getting that from a machine that is only programmed to price items for you.
One of THE DUMBEST moves I have ever seen. Basically encouraging people to STILL order online. Staples did (may still be doing that) and it is no wonder those stores are mostly empty now.
