do they sell gum?
So I wanted to buy a book from Amazon.com. The book costs $24.47. The book
is all I want. I add it to my shopping cart and right there on the screen
is the message, "Wait! Add $0.53 to your order to qualify for FREE Super
Saver Shipping." The minimum for the fres super saver shipping is $25.
Yeah, um, what does Amazon.com sell for 53 cents? As far as I can tell,
not much.

Maybe if they sold gum I could get free shipping. Instead, I think I'm
going to buy some new music. Thanks Amazon! :p

So I bought the book, and another equally dorky one, from Buy.com instead
with free shipping and for $5 less total.
Sorry Amazon!
