Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I have the same reaction whenever i find what i need... Locked away..
I leave
The one employee in the entire store is busy at checkout. I'm just gonna order it on Amazon.
Yeah, "I'll just Amazon it" is becoming a more common phrase. It's cheap. The delivery is surprisingly fast.
Downside is you're making one of our wealthiest oligarchs even more powerful.
And, of course, it could be stolen off your doorstep before you can even get to it.
Ehh, I mean if you were gonna buy it from CVS/Walgreen's, they aren't exactly an altruistic alternative...
I agree, best to avoid the wealthy oligarchs, but sometimes you need medicated allergy eye drops and Bob's Corner Store doesn't have them.
Totally agree. I'm no saint. I've purchased from Amazon. But the last election showed us that Bezos is very much not our friend. I'll be damned if I give that leech another Amazon Prime subscription.
Don't forget how it's becoming more and more likely you'll just get a counterfeit.
