I really tried to buy something on amazon prime, but couldnt find anything i really needed. I keep having this voice telling me " do you really need that?" no...I didnt.

Disappointed she said the new model S was "just under 70, 000 dollars" instead of "69, 420". What's the point in Elon making it a meme number if people don't even say it :/

[LuckyDuckie]

clicked on wish list, nothing was on sale...closed amazon app. The 10 seconds I spent on primeday

[ittotaq]

"just under 70, 000" dollars lmao. she didnt wanna say 69, 420

Congress needs to be criminally investigated for their failure to get help and protect it's citizens during this epidemic, and they have been a failure, and people are struggling and still dying, because of they lack of action to get the American people the help it needs

[jessywanders]

I've never bought anything during Prime Day.

[andyrob]

Ummmm no. Nothing. And Amazon isn't that big in the rest of the world where we live. In my apartment block I never seen Amazon deliveries in the mail room - see plenty of others.

Amazon return policy isn’t the same anymore. They charged me a significant 17% on a return item, untouched, undamaged especially from 3rd party sellers. That’s how they make money, you get a huge fee if you want to return. They silence me and won’t even let me even post a review on the product. Buyers beware, buy only if you don’t think you are going to return it. Otherwise, you get charged for it and by a huge margin. Your trusted local store will at least give you full refund with 30 days. Don’t fall for it, things aren’t the same anymore with amazon. Their review system also is questionable too. These technology companies are starting to silence their users and customers. You can only say things approved by their standards. Now understand why people need to actually go and protest in order to let their voice be heard.

How is 898, 000 people filing for unemployment in a week a sign of things improving? That's almost 4 million in a month. Admittedly that's lower than the peak was but that's still way higher than what should be considered normal for a healthy economy.

Glad it’s 2020, not 1987.

Companies like Amazon 🔥 kept the United States 🇺🇸 moving forward 💹💵

[xcelpast]

Host trying really hard not to say the new price of $69, 420 lol

[Striker_]

"I bet you bought something you didn't need on Amazon"
First off I would like to say I feel personally attacked. did I buy one of the fire tablets because it was on sale? Maybe. Do I really need it? No. But jokes on you I saved like $30...oh wait

[jwulf]

Damn that one dude doesnt miss a thing. 👁👁

[parthgutka]

$69, 420 man it is a shame that reporting are saying it, by rounding off the amount. But I love my man for this.

[iamdaviddor]

Nope I skipped prime day. Probably going to skip Black Friday to. Waiting for my stimulus check.
