There was a flyer in the mail today from Amazon, offering $20 off on $50 of groceries —but with a Thanksgiving expiration date. It’s worth a try, I thought, and ran out to the Amazon Fresh store for stuff I needed anyway. But no, there was a red error message on my smart shopping cart: the coupon had expired.
Nary a soul in sight in the parking garage by the Amazon Fresh store on 23rd and Jackson. There are people in the store, of course. A human checked my ID for the beer I had bought (why? Amazon must know my age; the credit card company certainly does). The smart carts are not allowed out of the store, so I put my two heavy bags in a regular little cart to get it to the car.
