Amazon...I dont see the hype of prime?? I seem to 99 percent of the time find things cheaper on a different website if I do a little research.
I am also becoming disenchanted with Amazon. I pay $99 for prime and then pay an added few dollars more than most other places from Amazon. I barely used it for holiday shopping as the toy prices were not even competitive with TRU or Target. I actually think it's costing me more. Moreover, I have subscribe and save which I am not saving anything, it's all for convenience at this point, and I have cancelled subscriptions that for whatever reason, will not register with Amazon. I stopped baby food back in September yet my case of pouches arrived the other day! WTF.
Shipping has been delayed at times.
I let about 7 other people use my account. If I didn't, I don't think i would see the benefit of prime.
As for stores, I hate Dicks. I also hate Kohls and JCP. I also don't like Harbor Freight.

Re: Stores you hate
We stream music from Amazon, and watch the Amazon movies, etc. on the TV, so that is how I justify the cost. If I was just paying $79 or whatever my membership is, just to buy stuff, I wouldn't do it!

Whole Foods. I want to love it, because I like buying healthier/organic foods when I can. But the one in Manhasset is a nightmare. The produce section is so small, always crammed with people. I also find it kind of dirty. Not a fan at all.

I would die without Amazon. LOL That being said, if you have Prime and something doesn't arrive on time, send them an email and complain that it was late and that it's such a disappointment as you pay for the Prime service. They will reply almost ASAP and offer you an extension of your Prime membership. Since Xmas, I've gotten my Prime extended 3 months already. 
Marshall's for clothes, I have NO patience for that. I detest Wal-Mart. It might be cheap but the whole place feels like a skeeze fest, I feel dirty just being in there. Yuck.

Aldi
Walked in there for the 1st time on Wednesday and don't ever plan to go back. It looked cheap, smelled weird and had no-name, cheap looking brands that I'd never heard of and wouldn't buy. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Most of their products are actually bought from the big brands, and sold for less in Aldi packaging.
The cereal is general mills, chicken is Tyson, cheese is some other name brand I can't remember -cracker barrel or something like that, dairy is locally sourced.
Branding is a crazy thing, huh?

You can filter to only show items available with prime. I've rarely looked for something and not had it been available through prime.

Aldi's own's Trader Joe's so it's the same no name brands people pay a premium for there.
Went into Aldi's once and found nothing! Trader joes is also very cheap.....i on the other hand despiseeeee macys

Wal-Mart. I HAD to go to one recently to pick up an online order for an Xmas gift for dh that I couldn't find anywhere else. On the pick up desk they had a little Christmas tree that had only ONE ornament and all the garland falling off. Saddest little Xmas tree ever. It pretty much, in my opinion, summed up a Wal-Mart shopping experience perfectly.

Re: Stores you hate
I don't get the appeal of Old Navy... I find their clothing to be so flimsy & poor quality.
I used to love the Kohls on route 110 because they had great stuff on clearance... now that it closed I never go to kohls anymore because I find them to be so overpriced.
I pretty much live at Target.  if I can't get it at Target forget about it!
DH loves amazon for everything.

Omg... I hate Panera with a passion... the price they charge and the amount of food they give... it doesn’t make any sense!!!! I actually like the taste of some of the items but not when I’m paying top dollar for a tiny crumb of food...

Costco...they carry minimal brands of items (cereal for instance)...I didn't renew my membership
CVS, I think they are way overpriced!
Stop and Shop - way overpriced!
I always thought CVS was good in their prices. Lower than Rite Aid and MUCH lower than Duane Reed. But maybe it's because I don't go to Target?
I can tell you that the CVS by me is SUPER high compared to Target, definitely.
Seriously! I get so mad at DH when he shops at CVS. I'm at Target every other day. Why spend an extra $3-$5 per item at CVS? It's such a rip-off.
DH likes to shop at Walgreens and CVS for certain things. He says it’s because the stores are small and it’s quick and easy to grab the couple of things he needs. I always tell him to let me know what he needs so I can buy them at places like target.

Re: Stores you hate
I hate Walmart. I don’t care if stuff is cheaper there it’s always such a mess, I hate how dark and tight all the aisles are. I just hate it! I also hate Sams club.
Aldis I hate that place. I went there once and got nothing. My uncle convinced me I had to go back because I had to give it a try and I didn’t buy anything the second time around.

Its all convenience. They got us addicted customsrs with the ease of a click of a button and quick arrivals. Thats the appeal.

The other appeal of Amazon is that its NOT a store. Its shopping for people whi hate ALL stores lol

Re: Stores you hate
I tend to shop during hours where there are not alot of people in the store, so most of the stores mentioned aren't a biggie to me. 9-12pm and 8pm to later is the best times.
I do hate disorganization and most Supermarkets are culprits and some department stores like JcPenney and Macys.
