Gee, what do I prefer? And ya, this has happened more times than I prefer to talk about.
Retail has shot themselves in the foot, and are earning their reward here.

There are even lots of specialty items that you wouldn't find on normal retail stores that are readily available to buy on Amazon WITH Prime.
I understand there will be concerns over everything becoming digital, AI, Amazon having too much of a monopoly, but I agree, retail has REALLY shot themselves in the foot.
My other issue is that certain things in Canada are WAY too expensive as is, so blowing so much time, fuel, money to buy them in store versus having them shipped? No brainer to me.
