Retail sales is annoying.

Which is certainly a very old concept so I make no claims to its unique relevancy. I thought I'd make the statement in a basic declaration of defiance, though, as I am making the decision to save a bunch of money at the personal loss of a little time. I get that retail establishments based on in-person interaction are living in the realm of FUD(fear, uncertainty, doubt) themselves now that Amazon has reared its world-dominating head but I really despise the tactics they tend to employ in their attempts to separate me from my financial stability. Anyway... I am glad I held strong and didn't give in today. My self-discipline carried the day and now I will sleep much more soundly.
