Curse of the Amazon Prime
The worst possible retail ploy to hit the bottom line of my bank account balances has to be Amazon's Prime service. First they lure you in with a free three month subscription to the service: sign up for free second day delivery for three months. After three months, there's no way you can't continue the sercice: you're addicted on the inexpensive prices for items you can afford to wait two days for.
Worse, if you order late at night, which actually is not only the only time I have during my frantic days as of late, but also the time of least resistance and possibly of worst judgement, Amazon will treat that day as one and your order can be your hands in less than 36 hours.
Yeah, if that's not one of the longest sentences on this page, I'd be shocked. Not technically a run-on sentence, but still one a high school English teacher might cite when deducting points.
Heck, I'd deduct points for that one.
Right after I deduct the next chunk of change and hand it over to Amazon.
If I had a job there, would they pay me in books?

You're right!
You're right about that! Except that I got lured in and never ordered a book during the trial period. The trial period passed and then I've got a bill. Well, lucky me, they actually track this stuff, saw that I didn't use it and refunded the moolah. :)
