4. Amazon pushes like hell to trick customers into Prime. They remind me that I spent $22 last year on shipping

Every time I order they remind me. But a Prime member spends $139 per year for “free” shipping? Be serious. Also, every checkout experience offers me at least 6 opportunities to accidentally press the wrong button and say “Yes! I want this item one whole day early! I’m already buying something with free shipping, but by God I am ready to fork over for Prime! “

Yes, I am currently irritated.

As to the customers getting redlined in DC neighborhoods, Amazon should try honesty and emphasize there may have to be workarounds regarding deliveries at night. Offer a discount for this ~~lack~~ modification in services.

Yes, I know that will be hard on the second-richest man on the planet. Honesty? A discount? What will they want next? A living wage?
