I probably shouldn't be a Prime Member anymore, but once upon a time Amazon was: cheap, convenient, and reliable.

For Prime shipping, they're supposed to guarantee a certain delivery window. But I keep having the experience where they delay items. I am a week out from some important, specific items I could not find elsewhere (rare for that to happen).

What other company can seem to boldly lie in your face about a product you've ALREADY paid for, offer a refund that they will mark against you over time, and act like they don't owe you anything?

Seriously, how has Amazon not gotten a class action or something? If I am paying for a product, I expect to get it. If I do not get it as described, that is false advertising. Then, I expect a remedy that goes beyond for my inconvenience.

How DARE I actually want the item? It's easy to pay for items (and get Buy Now, Pay Later) but increasingly difficult to ACTUALLY get the items.

Amazon is a Joke

New to this subreddit.

I’ve been decently addicted to Starbucks for years. It’s always everywhere and things there are generally tasty/homey. Even as I reduced going to protest, I couldn’t cut it out entirely.

But things have gone too far.

$7 is the expected rate for any coffee. $5-7 for food items that are snacks. And that’s where Starbucks has jumped the shark.

I’m refusing to pay more than $5 for coffee unless it’s premium. And certainly not for the other drinks they make!

It’s very insulting to think they’re charging over $5 for a tall! For something I’ll finish in 3 sips. It’s similar to throwing dollars into a burning fire.

I’d think if I’m feeling this, others must be too.

Tell me, when is the point you feel Starbucks has totally lost the plot? As a frequent customer, I think I’m here. I can’t justify the cost anymore. They’re not the only company I’m feeling that way about, but they’re the company I feel most taken advantage of.

PS I like the baristas always. And many managers. You all run this brand. Starbucks is nothing without you!

I have had no issues with Waveapps as an individual freelancer, but today the instant payout feature is not working. Why? Who knows, just because.

What a terrible joke. The company's support chat is only open for a few hours (8am - 1pm for me), their status page says they have too many payroll-related requests (from JUNE 2025!!!), and there is absolutely no solution. Hope I get my payout tomorrow. If I can't access the money I've made, there is no more relationship with Wave.

I'll be looking to switch after this.
