I just genuinely don’t understand why people think it’s necessary. I use Prime once a year and it’s when my boss gives me a gift card for Christmas. I guess I just don’t understand what the typical person is buying every single month from Amazon to warrant a subscription - I know 1 or 2 people buying cat litter every month and having it delivered, but why? Just go to the store! I love in a rural town and I still trek to the store. Maybe if you have mobility issues or something but I just don’t get it. Probably just the anti-consumer in me.
Buying cat litter when you also need diapers and have to shop with a baby in tow? I’ll be anti-consumer next year.
Plot twist! By then you will need a second job to fund your child’s Need for Robux.
That’s easier to boycott than diapers, my friend.
I have yet to witness a fulfilled life that is not flush with 20 Robux a week.
/S just in case people thought I gave more than two craps about Roblox.
Maybe I’ve always just felt a Roblox-shaped hole in my heart.
Subscribing to deliveries typically gives a discount, which makes the cost cheaper than going to the store and removes wear & tear on your vehicles and your own gas costs.
Depending on what kind of litter you want, the store might not even carry it. My cat litter is from a major brand, but is one that doesn’t get as much in stock at my local places and when itis in stock, it’s rarely the cheaper, larger box, so that also increases the cost.
Cat litter is fucking heavy. I don’t blame anyone wanting it delivered to their door.
