God damn it do I miss the good old days where you could walk into an electronics store and buy good quality products, no subscriptions needed to work, no internet connection forced down your throat just to use the product you buy, you bought it you owned it outright, you could pay with cash that was the norm, fucking face to face employee assistance when needed (employees smiling ready to help you figure out what your looking for ready to answer questions, all friendly).

I have such a deep sadness that so many of this shopping experience has been lost. Not everywhere mind you.... but overall in modern America service is absolute SHIT today and so are new products, it reflects a deep decline in our society and it's a damn shame.
