New locations recently opened in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Phoenix, according to Amazon, which declined to provide information on how many of the same-day sites it has.

I wasn’t sure where to buy them - my dad (and who else would know better) suggested Walmart - but Amazon had a few the only problem is that I was leaving early Saturday morning on a fishing trip, and surely that wouldn’t be sufficient time for e-commerce! It was Friday morning, and I needed sunglasses - specifically the nerdy ones that fit on top of a pair of prescription glasses.
