Are you crosssing the Amazon picket line? If no, where are you shopping?

Question

Feels like such a bougie question, but I just wonder: have any of y'all discovered an online shopping experience with quick shipping and broad product selection that competes well with Amazon?I'm a long-time newegg user, so I use that for computer components. But what about for general household goods, tools, dry goods, cleaning supplies, etc?Is there a good place to buy where workers aren't striking?

go to the IRL hardware / grocery store? I still get out of my chair to go the Costco, Ace hardware, Microcenter and REI's of the world. But short of that target, walmart, home depot have really stepped up their (fast/free) shipping game in the past few years.

Walmart+? But I'm not sure how much better they treat their employees

I'm kind of pro Amazon regardless of their ruthless capitalism simply because I don't think regular people could have come up with the conveniences Bezos came up with. He improved QOL for people, period. Unions would never have allowed something like Amazon to evolve to what it is today.This is not true for all companies, but I think it's particularly true for Amazon.
