Of course, in the absence of a local shop, consumers turn to…Amazon. About 71% of those surveyed said they looked at Amazon or other e-comm retailers at least once a month, though 31% harbored some guilt about it or felt conflicted—primarily Gen Z (45%). In fact, 29% shoppers said they were "morally opposed" to shopping at Amazon, but 85% ended up purchasing something there anyway. Do you shop at Amazon? I do and I feel guilty sometimes
