    USA Amazon Prime Now

    As many of you know, I have been on Amazon boycott for a year or more. But the girlfriend is not.

    She discovered that we are in a Prime Now delivery area and wanted to try it out. Prime Now promises order and delivery in 2 hours.

    They sent her a coupon to try it, so she gave it a try this morning.

    She ordered 9 miscellaneous items, toilet paper, washing detergent, some bottled water, some tea, coffee, etc. at 07:24. The driver arrived at the apartment with the order at 08:46.

    From order to delivery in 1:22. Wow. That's crazy.

    And the delivery is free as part of her prime trial membership. She tipped the driver $5.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    By allowing her to order from Amazon makes your boycott hollow

    Allowing her.

    She's free, white, and over 21.

    And that wasn't the point.

    It is the point, you are allegedly boycotting Amazon, but still reaping the benefits of Amazon because someone else is doing the buying

    HEY NOW!



    It's a thread about RBP's emasculation and unwillingness to stand up to his better half. Post appropriate content, thanks.

    You know where you went wrong...when you used the term boycott. From what we understand, your partner is a forward thinking, intelligent woman.

    The new politically correct 2015 term is eunuchcastrato from the Greek meaning - Laying down the law and no one pays attention to your pitiful whining

    Do you remember a movie with Sandy Bullock called The Net? She was an introvert who never left her apartment. The movie portrayed her working from home and doing a lot of things like ordering food and supplies online. Critics at the time ('93 or '95 I think) said her character's lifestyle was completely fictional and most of the things shown could never come to pass.


    riiiight
