You're right, also i think it normalised the will to skip human interactions. Yeah i get sometime the retail workers can be a bit annoying but it's normal and healthy to interact with other human beings and we shouldn't convice ourselfed that we can lock us behind a screen to avoid it.

the experience is not even comparable. i see a lot of people buying clothes online without much of a fuss but for me it's difficult to comprehend. like ok you buy without knowing if its your size just because you can send it back and change it? you risk needing send it back and wait days and days just to save a few euros?(and not in all cases) its not even convenient at this point. the thing that keep sites like amazon big is that on some products, especially electronics, their prices are hard to beat for a small business or even a big one that has physical stores. also people dont even bother anymore to go out and see if the product they need is sold by some shops in town, they go straight to amazon or some shit because they automatically assume it will be cheaper and i guess they became addicted to the dopamine of receiving the package you were waiting for. i always tend to cheap out on electronics and the prices of amazon always had an edge over physical store. but since i started buying used or refurbished there is no way i go back. for my chromebook i used mediaworld refurbished and got a good deal. sadly for things like clothes my city lacks in second hands shops so for now im stuck with vinted but its a step at the time i guess. wish we can go back when you used internet just to buy very niche things. (and also learn to buy used more)
