I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I’d take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.
Turns out, it’s just a meal planner. And it’s absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who’d the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That’s like paying for a calendar app.
I’ve been trying e-books, usually when I find something I want to read it will say something like you are 38th in line. Minnesota.
Here when there is a big line like that, usually they will temporarily rent more licenses. So it will say 38th in line for one of 8 copies, not just 38th. If it’s a popular new book they do that. I read mostly sci fi and fantasy, occasionally smut, it’s been solid for those categories. Have found many enjoyable reads and those sorts of books are great to read on the device. Stories. Informational/resource books less so, for me it is easier to go back & forth with a paper book.
ETA I don’t know why someone would down vote you for sharing your experience, that’s silly.
I see this often as well. I usually put in holds on several things at a time. I often find that the had is passed to me much quicker than the estimated time when queues are long like this. I suspect people are in line for several things and just pass along when it becomes available and they’re reading something else. I similarly will pass on holds when the become available and I am reading something else.
Tldr, I recommend putting in the hold anyway, and seeing what happens. But put in holds on lots of options for best results.
