Amazon delivery speedy

[okeydokey]

By and large I like to see what I am buying in a shop before buying it from them, I also try to support buy locally when I can.
Others in the household click and buy and it just arrives on the doorstep.

To the point ----- my wife ordered some gloves via Amazon about 11.30 yesterday ---- ok -----then they were delivered about 19.30 the same day --,-- still ok and better than ok
But it doesn't sit well with me, I cant easily explain why but its just not right!

When you where young did you knock on your neighbours door and run away, if so Amazon are recruiting and you are an ideal person for their work force.

Don't know what gloves - gardening, woolly or fancy - but I assume search and click took less than 10 minutes.

Contrast with go to town to buy - perhaps 5 miles each way, parking, find shop with stock etc. All in cost £5-10 and 1-2 hours.

No surprise why click has diminished the high street.

That it doesn't sit right may be a function of age - I was brought up in an era where gratification involved effort (catch bus etc) and payment involved real money (not click or tap).
