I’ve got Prime, so I don’t encounter that issue, but I still bump up against not having Prime Pantry. Occasionally I want to order a non-perishable food item, something like CoffeeMate or coffee, and think I finally found a decent price but then notice it is only for Prime Pantry members. I have to be careful not to accidentally get sign up for PP buy making the purchase. I think Amazon might be hoping that we are so busy and in a rush that we won’t notice the tactics. I suspect some people might not understand that "free trials" often come with a bill after the trial ends unless you cancel, and so they wind up getting billed a month later. a lot of companies are doing similar things, but they shouldn't without being a lot more clear about it. Another gotcha from Amazon is the subscription service which I’m not sure exactly what it is, but you see a decent price then notice it is only good if you subscribe to getting the item on a regular basis. I see this a lot with things like cat food. You have to select the non-subscription button to avoid getting subscribed to that item, and of course you have to pay more.
