The author canceled their Amazon Prime subscription on a whim and realized they didn't really need it.
Leaving Prime meant slower shipping but the author was happy to wait and still found the selection and delivery speed satisfactory.
Many people love Prime for its fast shipping and convenience, but some readers expressed ambivalence and considered canceling.

I've been in the Bezos balls. (Anyone seen the old Woody Allen sex movie?) Neat but no good reason for them to be balls. It's just a climate controlled botanical garden.

I'll also note that the place is jam packed with staff that constantly ask you if you have any questions. Well... I asked questions and no one had any clue. Great job.

There's also a not great coffee bar inside. Underwhelming.
