I also will use Amazon for certain hard to locate nearby items that I know I specifically need (parts to fix appliances and hardware fixtures, a new clasp chain for a thrift store purse, etc.).

What I refuse to do is go to brick and mortar shops to try items and ask for advice and comparisons about items only to leave and purchase them for less on Amazon. I feel if the store employee has given me useful advice and the store gave me the opportunity to visually inspect and sometimes try the products in the store, that is usually worth the extra price. Plus, I feel it is in my best interest that these stores that employ people in my community continue to do well enough to stay in the community.

At my age, I actually need to buy very little and have never been that concerned with having the latest fashion or device. I do not want to search for clothing items and shoes to buy online, and certainly not on Amazon. My son, however, orders clothes online almost monthly. Perhaps it is a generational thing. Odd thing is, we now both work in retail at on upscale mall. If customers stop shopping at physical stores, we both will be out of our jobs.
