If you can't be bothered to at least shop in your neighborhood stores, could you at least be bothered to sign for your packages at the post? It's just the cost of living in civilised society: either you interact with the store clerk or the postman. Choose.

I can't really be bothered to drive 30 minutes home from work, wait for the package, then drive back. For 90% of my orders I'd be more than happy to have them delivered on a Saturday, which is what I do for Amazon since they give me that option. I buy a lot more locally, but there's just a lot of things that need to be purchased online these days.

In a truly civilized society, people don't generally steal things from each other. If theft is a big problem in your society, then it isn't really that civilized.

  which is a sad statement on the what the US has become. Just look at the looting that comes during disasters here. This is a cultural issue that needs correction starting in schools where it gets repeated day and day out to respect others and the property of others. Then top this off with not accepting politicians who incite negative behavior by telling people their situation was caused by others whose gains were unfairly acquired. It is far easier for people to reason theft if someone in authority gives them that scenario, that people who have more than them probably did it unfairly and it is not just that they lack the same.

Maybe you meant it exactly this way, but I can't tell if you were referring to Democrats or Republicans, because both have the same message about different groups.
