Super Disappointment

I remember back when "Super Saver Shipping" from Amazon was a good deal. It said that the shipping might take a little while longer, but things still usually arrived to my door within 4 days of me placing an order. But now they don't even process your order for at least that long. I ordered a book and a CD on Monday and they still haven't even shipped yet. I wonder do they keep a queue of their "lesser customers" who were foolish enough to take advantage of a bargain, and they'll get around to those orders when they have nothing better to do? Or is it simply the fact that a lot more people are ordering from Amazon these days? Either way, it's disappointing at best. You really can't get good help these days.... unless you're willing to pay for it.

This reminds me of something Lazur said in his sermon last month. He was talking about hospitality and how really great, really expensive hotels are great at hospitality. However, he asked, is it really hospitality if you have to pay for it? It was just something that stayed with me.
