retail in 2023 involves choosing between going to walgreens and doing ur shopping by having a worker unlock each individual item for you from behind plexiglas, or trying to decide between IOCBYHZ, BANKKY, or KLAQQED spatulas on amazon

Why Does It Feel Like Amazon Is Making Itself Worse?

The “everything store” has gotten junkier and more chaotic. But, for the company, it’s only good business.
