Because you don't want to reward bald-faced manipulation. It's not about saving two dollars.

It’s not manipulation. They mention the price difference on their website:

Beyond that, the in-store price is considered to be the “normal” pricing. You are getting a discount on the website.

So instead you reward amazon treating its employees terribly.

No, the reward is for the convenience.

Reliability and sound logic are big for me. Amazon is more consistent in that that are always squeezing.

I don’t like a company that sometimes squeezes and sometimes caresses.
