Am i the only one who's reminded of Idiocracy's hospital scene? https://s3.amazonaws.com/lardbiscuit/pix/idiothospital.jpg

Consider me old fashioned, but what is so hard about a shopping list, or a problem that's not already solved by amazon subscriptions? Especially on essential items, usage rate is pretty static, and its not like hitting "OMG IM OUT OF BOUNTYS!" button will make them instantly appear.

Perhaps this is their implementation of Adobe's "encyclopedia" commercial? (ok im done with TV references)

What WOULD be cool and useful is a way for me to say "hey, send me this subscription item a week later/earlier because my usage rate is not what i thought it would be.




If Amazon is successful with drone deliveries, it might end up being "press the button and X magically appears"
