    I interpret it in a broader sense. Recently I tried to test a mechanical keyboard to see if I would like it. The small local shop did not have any (understandably), so I went to MediaMarkt and they didn’t have any either. It seems that since everyone is ordering stuff online, the physical shops only have stock for very generic stuff.

    So… the convenience that everyone was demanding (being able to order anything) is now mandatory for me.

    Of course, it’s just first world problems in my case.

      Most of the small local shops have been closed down by a combination of big box stores and Amazon anyway, so in a lot of places, your only options are the evil megacorp you have to drive to or the other evil megacorp that’s convenient.
