Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they've added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they'll then charge you for shipping.

Walmart and Target aren't run by worse people. I've never heard of Target or even Walmart employees being forced to piss in bottles or a robot will fire them.

They said, they are still bad people, as retail capitalists, but are you ready to have that conversation?

Retail capitalists are fine, but Amazon, Walmart, and Target all did the maga loyalty thing after Trump's win. I don't need to buy from someone who shares my politics or even doesn't disagree with me, I just need them to not be outright oligarchs using my money to support dictators.

Target also have free 2 day shipping and 5% discount if you use their "Red Card", which is free. It's available as a debit or credit card. I'm using the debit card version which doesn't require a credit check or impact your credit score.

Sure, it lets them track what you buy, but they can already do that if you pay with credit or debit card. The only way to not get tracked is by paying cash or buying prepaid Visa/Mastercard gift cards and swapping them periodically.

I don't want to simp for Target too much, but the union DCs I've been in seem to treat their employees pretty good. No idea about the stores though, I've only seen their distribution centers.
