A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

We can't easily go to the store when many things don't sell in brick and mortar anymore. When everything is online and the price is as low as it gets, it's a battle of convenience.
There is nothing wrong with longer shipping times, but they won't exactly win customers over.
I avoid Amazon by principle, but I've had to use it to source materials urgently on an occasion.

Argos in the UK is pretty good, delivery or get it in store and their products are in a small warehouse upstairs or round the back. Generally find it's cheap but not as shit as Amazon for quality.

Yep; I wanted one of those Anker GaN chargers, went to Argos for it instead of giving Jeff more money. Got it same-day, even better.
