Amazon Prime Day Starts Today (3 days)

Hey, you can re-fill Nespresso pods like I do with my re-usable K-cup pod! Our retirement fund will last longer, and I like the convenience but am against all the waste of containers. Love my Cafe Espresso!

I use Amazon only if I can’t buy locally and I do not live in a big metro area. Bezos does provide a significant amount of jobs.

Amazon saved both my wife's and my ass during the Covid-19 pandemic, but I truly do get your point.

@hilde45  Your points are well taken. Thank you. Nevertheless, I still give Amazon credit for its prompt shipping through Prime membership. Perhaps, as customers, we can choose Amazon Day Delivery to help reduce the carbon footprint associated with consumption and shipping emissions. By comparison, consider the USPS, with its strong labor protections and pension system—the difference in delivery service quality is night and day.  Aside from slow delivery time, lost mails (both domestic & international), wrong address delivery, etc, you name it.  

@jsd52756 A "diatribe" as I understand it is bitter and acrimonious. My comment gave a list of my reservations. I’m not telling anyone else what to do. People will either read my comments and reflect with their conscience, or wave it aside as inconvenient or call it a name like diatribe.

@lanx0003 Thanks. No one is perfect but there are some practices which bother me. I think companies can get better with some social pressure -- we’d not have a 40 hour workweek if people didn’t talk about what’s wrong. I know that commenting on a forum dedicated to the consumption of products is a bad move on my part. No one likes to get stung by a gadfly.
