Less people in box stores.

Miss the crowded times of older years.

The modern way is ----" shop at home"---Click , click-----And support folks / businesses 1000's miles away.----Delivered to the door in 2 days.

So very true.

You miss the crowds? The best thing about online shopping is that I don’t have to go to the stores with my wife. I hate shopping AND crowded stores … together I am not a happy camper …

The Admiral has done plenty of "Holiday shopping" for years, so my shopping is limited to buying some concert tickets for us (on-line now, thank goodness)

Gotta admit, I do miss "going shopping" with my best friend...

double edge sword. I lament the fact that box stores are dwindling. Yeah, I miss my Sears, seriously, I do.
But crowds, waiting lines...traffic, .parking....throw in inclement weather.....people....can be a hassle.
Went to a Boscov's to check out a piece of jewelry for xmas. The clerk was less than helpful and even less interested. Such as it goes. So home I go, get on line,....done.
Amazon is a juggernaught. In 30 minutes I can have xmas shopping done for 4 sons, 8 grandkids in 3 states done and shipped.
Personally, I have ordered things in the morning and it's been delivered by the afternoon.

Still, miss my Sears.

many edges - easy to make a list on a...zon so our kids can easily buy me the inexpensive stuff for projects, but it's interesting how many deliverers go by (and to) our house these days - that reduces emissions? crazy

It is probably the reason why I like going to Costco. That place is always jam packed.
As for Sears, It never was a favorite of mine.

Yeah I could go into the cities to shop, I value my catalytic converter, don't want my truck broke into and not really into crowded public spaces with the feral behavior of the youth.
