So drive around from store to store in 104°F (40°C) heat looking for the thing that I want, but everyone seems to be out of, just to go home and order it online anyway (for less money, too) because no one had it?
With Fry's and Radio Shack gone, I can't even find electronics anymore. Best Buy is fucking useless, and they just closed the one nearest to me (not surprised. They were always out of stock of everything).
If I need electronics, I'm honestly not sure what my choice is.
B&h photo is a good alternative for electronics. Non electronics I'm not sure there is anything close to the selection and prices of Amazon.
I would have said Newegg for electronics but that too got enshittified a few years ago. A shame, because their offerings were pretty competitive and I could build a computer at a reasonable price.
Costco would cover some of that. I live in a small place and try to buy local, then Costco, Best Buy, Staples, etc., before Amazon as a last resort.
I try to do Best Buy but often times they don't have what I want. I have HEB for groceries luckily
Sure, but the OP is talking about groceries...
truuu
I wish microcenter opened more locations. From what I've seen it's essentially a modern day radio shack, but they have only 25 locations (in only 16 states!), and none of them are in my state. They do sell things online I guess, but they just aren't as competitive online compared to their physical stores.
