Recently, I've been buying more stuff from non-Amazon retailers. I bought a pair of basketball shorts from Macy's, and a reading light from Home Depot. I'm tired of getting burned by those weird Chinese brands (with ALLCAPS brands) on Amazon. The physical stores gave me a few choices (that were all pretty decent) and I got to inspect the product before buying, rather than roll the dice with an online order. So I'm rediscovering old shopping.
