Continuing to boycott AMZN and SBUX. It's so easy to do.
Yes and no (when it comes to AMZN). I think they're appeal goes way beyond low prices and fast shipping. You get a consistent experience from the search to the checkout to the returns. There's real benefit in not having to visit 5 sites for 6 items.
Now what would REALLY be a game changer is a federated shopping platform.
Honestly, Amazon isn't even low price anymore. I compared everything I got for Christmas with Amazon and Walmart this year and Walmart was cheaper or the same price on every single item. Fucking bezos making me praise Walmart.
