Drat. I dislike getting groceries delivered (it seems lazy of me, it's a headache, they occasionally mess up, and it's much more expensive than walking to a nearby store), but... I've about decided to go back to the grocery delivery I was getting for most of the last 3 years. I'm seeing way too many people in grocery stores just coughing out a phlegmy cough, without even trying to cover -- like they're oblivious to t…

What both pro-vaccination and anti- vaccination camps share, in Western countries, is their hatred of wearing masks. Of the few that do, they do not use n95s.
At this point Prime seems to be targeting families only. As a single person I'm not sure of the value I'm getting with all the things I don't want (TV shows etc) and the high minimums ($150 for groceries is too much for one).
There is something un-natural about a prime delivery for a $5.99 order. There is no way any of this sh* is sustainable.
Shipping was $2.99
Whole Foods started charging $9.99 for orders a year or so ago. I still sometimes order from them but try and avoid it. I sometimes use Fresh, sometimes do WF in the store (pickup or just going to the store), and also shop locally more.
> WF in the store AKA shopping. this service is useful, but as others have said it was never sustainable. would you do someones shopping for $10?
It was very thorough and it looks like over the subsequent two years they implemented changes related to their line of questioning. Amazon already charges $9.99 for Whole Foods and $14.99 if you want delivery in an hour.

I did not renew my Prime membership this year after Amazon raised the annual price again. We have too many streaming services in our house as it is, and we don't order enough from Amazon to take advantage of the free shipping. I've also found Amazon's prices getting less competitive, especially for things you'd usually buy at placed like Target (drive up pickup is amazing). Combined with the endless search results th…
I love how target has solved the Amazon as competitor issue with just incremental improvements. I much more strongly trust target’s product curation staff over amazon’s anything goes mentality
I can’t just mindlessly buy stuff on Amazon anymore. Haven’t been able to do that for years now ever since they hit Day Two in 2015. For me, it’s transformed into a slightly better eBay. There’s nothing totally wrong about eBay, but I don’t trust it enough to buy products like food and medicine.

The only time I do grocery delivery is if I'm down with some kind of illness.

I’m not going to lose my mind over it. The simple solution is to let my team know I’ll be AFK, go home, and take a bit of time away from the space until the germs make their way through.
But there’s still something so surreal about living through a pandemic and people immediately returning to business as usual, going to work sick. And even more bizarre is that these are remote workers. They can stay home and no one would need to know any better.
Oh well. This is just what humans do. Who knows what kind of stupid stuff I get up to. I’m not smart enough to even tell you, but I assure you I do it.
Seriously? As the cost of Prime goes up the more I wonder why I use it... Once I'm not using Prime, my reliance on Amazon for free shipping evaporates and then I no longer am using Amazon exclusively for general purchases.
