    Some places don’t charge tax on the shipping so you’re paying less if you don’t choose free shipping.

      That’s assuming meme math.

      Practically speaking, I can buy from Amazon for the same or less than a storefront. So if you’re charging me $30 at Target and $25+$5 at Amazon, its still no loss to order off my phone rather than fight the crowd at a Big Box.

      That’s before the time savings of never having to leave my house to shop. For some reason, Lemmyites understand working from home as a cost savings but stumble on shopping from home.

        wait what does free shipping have to do with going to the store. why are they shipping it if you’re going to the store
