Man, I’m bouta go on a rant, so bear with me, but oh my god!

I love the internet, I really do. It’s wonderful, it’s great, it allowed me to meet and talk to so many amazing people… BUT ONLINE SHOPPING FOR LOCAL PLACES LIKE WALMART AND TARGET AND KOHLS AND HOME DEPOT AND LOWES… ITS FUCKED UP A LOT OF SHIT

We can’t have a pool in my yard anymore, and it’s still not warm enough to actually put up the pool even if we could, but I wanted my siblings to have something super fun to do today while we cooked out on the grill and stuff since today is like… technically the first official day of summer (according to me, it’s fucking hot)

So I’m like “alright, I’ll just get this!”

Because ya know, it’s nostalgic for me and it was super fun and I ASSUMED that ya know, one of the local retailers in my area would carry this absolute fun fest. My dad, 17 years ago, was able to just run out to the store the day he saw the commercial and pick this shit up, bring it back home, and BOOM, we had a water slide in our backyard!

BUT NOOOO

Online shopping has caused big items like this to not be carried in the actual stores because apparently they need more shelf room that isn’t even filled???? Like??? I went to Target AND a SUPER WALMART, and all of the shelves where something like this could be kept were just��� empty??

And when I looked online, it was like “not carried in stores”. Not just for this slide, but every slide like it. And you can’t even get it shipped to the store same day, it takes 3+ days to ship it to the store and a week to ship it to my house.

So… sorry for rambling and ranting

But god damn

Online shopping for local retailers, and the bankruptcy of places like Toys R Us has completely ruined the ability to just run out and say “yeah, I’m gonna surprise the kiddos with a super cool 10ft tall waterslide”

Now they’re stuck with some fuck ass dinosaur sprinkler which, sure, they enjoy it… but it aint the same 😔😔
