PRIMED TO SHOP

in #writer6 years ago

I went to the post office the other day to mail a hard drive back to Amazon cause it was broken. It cost me £10 to send it back and as I lamented to the man behind the counter about the cost, he simply said:

"We buy too many things online now. It used to be if you needed something you made a day of it with your family, taking breaks to sit down and eat and talk to each other in between visiting shops. Now we just sit in front of our screens and buy things and ignore each other."

"Man, that's so sad," I said, while clicking 'buy' on some tissues from Amazon Prime so I could wipe the tears from my eyes.
