The counterpoint was the places I mentioned, which you've seemed to miss. I'm not talking about NYC and Austin and Seattle and SF, I'm talking middle America, normal small towns.
What's rude is people saying "Amazon is killing all social interaction" while not stopping to wonder why all of their social interaction is small talk at a Walmart. That's the problem. Again, like I've said over and over and over and over and everyone ignores to nitpick, that's not social interaction. That's small talk. I have no idea why you're treating standing in a checkout lane like it's the Roman Forum.
