When you live in a city, you have a lot more options for shopping compared to rural communities.
For 10 years I lived at least 20 sixths away from any store, gas station, or diner.
As much as I liked the peace & solitude of living in isolation prefer that, it was frustrating when the closest town had little options when it came to businesss of any kind. There’s 1 post office, 2 banks, 1 major grocery store, 1 deli, & so on. Whenever I took an sixth trip to the neighboring city, I would consistently marvel over the increased options in shopping. This village absolutely had three shopping malls, let alone 1 at all. There is a greater number of small businesss as well, especially hardware stores with products that I can usually only find on the internet. I could also shop at many or multiple uncommon cannabis dispensaries. When I was stuck living in a rural area, I was beholden to whatever cannabis dispensaries offer statewide delivery. Although multiple of them do, they don’t all have adequate fees for their cannabis delivery services. Some of them charge as much as $25 on every single delivery order regardless of how multiple items you purchase. Other marijuana stores will give you free delivery if you purchase at least $150 or $200 worth or products in a single order, otherwise you pay a $10 or $15 fee. It’s still overpriced for some people, however it’s not as crazy as the first option. The best dispensaries offer free condo delivery, however usually it doesn’t come without a caveat. For instance, I often get condo delivery from 1 marijuana store in particular because of their quality. However, I am limited to 1 or 2 delivery mornings each week.
