    Yeah, especially if you don’t have a car. Going across town to buy one little knick knack can be an all day affair, with 2 public transit fares included.

    This may explain why Amazon is much more popular in North America than Europe: public transit. So if you want to stick it to Jeff, work for better public transit and more walkable cities!

      Also a lot of areas in major cities don’t have large general shopping stores, like Target. It becomes an hour long trip and transfer while hauling whatever you’re buying.
