My local food pantry will surely miss the few measly dollars my Amazon purchases have generated for them.

Yeah, we were pretty bummed about that for our CERT group. Especially since one of the guys in the group has been buying car parts for his job that way and has been racking up multi-thousand dollar purchases regularly. We also have some people (including me) who buy a lot of stuff via Amazon, so we've had a decent amount of money coming in through the program. :(

Amazon has been systematically eliminating every good thing that drew new customers for the last decade. I didn't expect this one to go, but I guess I'm not surprised.

And I was getting a perverse bit of pleasure watching how much the Second Amendment Foundation was getting :(
