before you buy something there, ask yourself: is this really worth forcing a poor warehouse worker pee in a bottle? you as a consumer have more power than the ceo of the company, use it!

I’ve tried shopping on prime day a couple of times over the years. Everyone I got was exclusively the worst junk I have ever owned. Broke easily, terrible mattery life, cheaply made, etc.

We need some catchy name for a “buy from local businesses” day that we can propose on prime day.

I checked camelcamelcamel and then I checked my local library. My library had it for the cost of free.

Just don’t choose the fast shipping option if you really need to buy something, you can wait a few more days to get your package

But you need Prime to get the discounts, no? Isn’t the point of prime the fast shipping? Ig the shows too

Free Shipping used to be the big selling point, the fast shipping came later

A friend of mine waited for prime day to see if there were any deals on stuff they wanted. On prime day the price went up 20%. Couldn’t believe it. What a racket.
