Amazon Echo Discussion / Re: Amazon Prime Video Commercials

However, I am kind of locked in on their "service" as I have everyone in my household "hooked" on Amazon online Shopping. I am 59 years old and the youngest in the crowd, so I'm not thinking it would be a great idea to uproot the 85 and 87 yr old people from what they know in the tech world... Sadly, I'm not able to just up and change without some major backlash.
If it were just me, I'd have already dumped them long ago. But I also would be done with Walmart as well. I had a horrific incident with them over their self check-out only crap... so we don't shop with Walmart any longer. Screw 'em. Target is so WOKE, I hate going there... where else to go? Aldi I guess... actually we have found a Winco to buy groceries. But they don't offer online services and delivery currently... so cash and go is our grocery thing since Winco doesn't take credit cards... But I do Have good experience with Alexa and her group of products I own... Shopping Amazon still has some conveniences I can't beat. But often times I find the same items cheaper elsewhere.
so far, been lucky with the self checkout at Walmart, though I came close a couple of times in missing a scan. It is scan and go that got me. Got tired of the associate watching the self checkouts locking the terminal on me because I would bag as I shopped and they wanted to see what I got, wanting me to rescan everything. I actually think they were just harassing me. No longer a w+ member because of that.
Like you, I still find Amazon convenient for some things, expecially alexa devices, just got tired of paying prime for nothing since for me, it was never two day shipping, even though I lived within a couple of hours of several distribution centers.
