Ok, the EU is different. You have - generally speaking - walkable cities and good public transport infrastructure. Most people live in cities, not suburbs, and even your suburbs have decent walkable shopping and good public transport. I'd do less online shopping if I lived in Munich, or London, or Paris, or even the smaller cities.

Still, there's a lot of stuff you still need to go online for, or settle for whatever your local small shop has. Sometimes the local is acceptable for not having to shop Amazon.

You're right, things are different in the states. We're trapped in our Suburbia.
