Yes, yes, pedantically speaking of Amazon the business this is true. Rhetorically speaking of Amazon the metaphor for cheap online stuff, who cares? Would anyone have felt the need to "well ackshually" me of I'd written "Walmart"?

I never heard 'Amazon' as metaphor for cheap stuff honestly. Here in Switzerland it's almost always the more expensive option. It just has everything.

However sorry if this somehow was not polite.

I ended up going to Digitec online shop and its shop :)
Exactly :) honestly I am so thankful that Amazon has zero dominance and we have actual hard working, tax paying, businesses providing an amazing service
