Getting out of your home and interacting with real people in the real world is ten million times better than both.

Hear! Hear! While I understand shopping online for items that you can't find in physical store, I don't understand the rest.

I have a friend who never goes out to shop - everything is online -including groceries. Yikes. I look for any reason I can to get out of the house and I'm not a shopper - I don't go out just to find something to buy.

I don't think those people appreciate how much smaller your worlds gets as you get older and for them to deliberately make their world smaller out of convenience, doesn't bode well for them in the long term methinks.

There's no Walmart in my country and I don't use Amazon Prime, but normal Amazon is dreadful nowadays. Whenever I search for something I get 100 cheap-looking products all from Chinese companies I've never heard of, with barely a single recognised brand in sight. Many of the products are identical but rebranded, and they all have hundreds or thousands of five-star reviews which mostly seem to be fake. When you go to a product page, you have to scroll down so far, past multiple rows of buying recommendations and pictures, to get to detailed product information and reviews. Amazon's so bloated nowadays - and the minimum spend for free delivery so high - that I prefer to go straight to manufacturers' websites and buy there. They've really screwed it up.

We don't really have Walmart here but we do have Amazon Prime so in that respect Amazon is better.

Well for me, I live in a rural area. We have a small Amazon shipment center.

But with Walmart + it's free and it get's delivered on the same day.

With Amazon I have to wait 2 or 3 days.

And the prices are always exact same, also...Walmart delivers groceries.

For people in larger areas, I'm sure Amazon does this as well.

What Walmart doesn't have (yet) is a video streaming service other then Paramount + (but that comes with ads).

Oh that makes sense. Sounds like a good deal. I haven't used either service. I tend to find that Amazon isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Things are just as expensive if not more compared to elsewhere. They do have a large variety and you could find some really unique parts or items, but man there are so many knockoffs too. I do have to say that their return service is pretty awesome, no package, just drop it off at the UPS store.

I'm not sure what Walmart + is but I love Amazon Prime and use it all the time. It's very convenient.

As Gloria Stivic said, 1000 times 0 is still 0.
