Isn't completely auto related, but sorta is

Just think every time you go to buy something. Critically. About if you would buy it or not.

Yes, Yes i would.

If I want something, I'm going to buy it no matter what. I've already made my decision.

I'm not one of those "bargain" shoppers that just say "Oh well it's ONLY $50.00 I might as well buy it."

or "Oh, well I get free 2 day shipping so let me spend $100.00 for no fucking reason"

you are just trying to validate your reasoning. it's not my fault you can't afford to order shit whenever you feel like it.

I'm just saying that the reason prime works as a scheme for amazon is because of the people who do use it like that. Obviously any system in which the buyer has a choice can be utilized efficiently, in the way you must be. But most people either buy prime and underutilize it, or it cons them into buying shit they wouldn't otherwise.

I see.

but no, I utilize it. I ordered shit from them almost weekly anyhow, and other things I bought from local auto place or walmart/target whatever.

then I tried the free trial, accidentally allowed them to take my money, and haven't looked back.

>Kinda shitty IMHO a company as big as amazon sends random un marked vehicles to peoples houses to deliver shit.

What sucks is that the american labor market allows this method of delivery service to exist as a loophole to exploit people and their private cars to deliver things with no minimum wage. They only earn more if they drive desperately and are confined to certain areas with lots of amazon deliveries.

Uber uses the loophole to avoid wage, driver protection laws, taxes, and legal requirements for running a taxi service. AirBnB uses a loophole to avoid similar in running a hotel-like service. And Amazon is defending its loophole in package delivery to compete against USPS and UPS. I rarely see UPS trucks in my neighborhood because a lot of people do order from amazon. Well, we're seattle, so amazon is well entrenched here.

The problem with Uber, Airbnd, and AMZL US is that they make use of infrastructure without paying for it. Certainly that's a bargain and thus profit. But it is unfair to the taxpayers in the end.
