Somehow I got on the list of a few major retailers, and I generally don’t mind getting emails from them once in a while notifying me of special sales and such.
However, in the time approaching Christmas, they’re redoubled their efforts to get my attention. Even that I don’t mind so much.
What I do mind is that they are rushing me through the holiday season as Target.com seems determined to do.
Last week I got a message with the subject “Feel the rush!” urging me to order stuff now. Today I got a message “This is it: Last chance for shipping on just-in-time gifts.”
Yes, I know it’s a mail order business and they’re trying to warn me about the shipping time. But I’d rather enjoy the season than feel the rush.
