Love/Hate relationship with Amazon!

Timely! This is not exactly love or hate, but a head scratcher that just happened to me today. This morning, I ordered something, and Amazon let me know that if I ordered $25 worth, I could get same day delivery. So I found a couple other things I needed, but it was still a little short. So I looked at the eligible items and threw in a loaf of bread. I figured that was what it took to make the trip worthwhile for them. Well, turns out the bread arrived in a couple hours, from a distribution center three cities away. The rest of the items didn’t arrive until evening.

So what was the point of reaching some arbitrary dollar total? It sure didn’t save Amazon anything to deliver me a single item. Oh well.
