I decline to be an "amazon prime" customer. I may buy certain items but I pay for the shipping and hold them in utter contempt unto the ends of the Earth. Furthermore, I decline to participate in online reviews and such rot because I'm spending my money on merchandise and that is my sole interest in the transaction. Some female wretch in India doesn't need to try and coerce me to submit a positive review for anyone in a group of people I find morally reprehensible.
I'm so sick of idiot companies like amazon and their ilk thinking they're some universal club that requires participation after the sale in areas better left alone. My only two nieces are thusly preoccupied lemmings under the spell of Amazon ... standing ready to cast themselves off the nearest cliff in the name of online ordering and prime delivery.
I love them both but they infuriate me to the nth degree with their pursuit of this affectation I refer to as amazonitis. There appears to be a preponderance of those who cannot think for themselves in my life. Particularly among the females I do not control. They get it honest, however being the product of similar parents.
So I get to continue waiting forever for my online orders to arrive. Amazon isn't the worst shipping problem, either. I'm pretty much totally giving up on ecommerce as of today. There are now very few outlets with whom I will conduct online business in the future. Enough is enough.
