I take your point and each to their own, but that's little consolation to the thousands of High St stores that have vanished putting 10's of thousands out of work, leaving most towns left with charity shops, a poxy coffee shop and empty spaces where independent businesses used to thrive. Those empty High Streets is another reason why town centre pubs are closing in their thousands.
I work in the retail display industry where 100's of businesses have gone to the wall and those that are left are scrapping over whatever meat is left on the carcass. The ultimate irony is that they're now opening their own stores, taking premises at knock down rental, occupying the sites that their business model destroyed in the first place.
Fucking hate Amazon with a passion. Tax avoiding, all American tossers of the highest order who have impacted on our society more than any other global company. If you're lucky though, you might get to work in one of their warehouses, servicing the robots.
Anyway, that feels better, thanks for listening.
