Ordered 20+ groceries from Amazon on Prime Day. Today my order arrived with each item packaged separately.

Yeah, and warehouse workers piss into bottles and cannot unionize.

As an ex-warehouse employee, I will go out of my way of I have to get something just to not buy something online. The conditions of most warehouses I've seen, especially in this heat, should be illegal.

As long as you weren't buying empty bottles, that's probably OK.

And I thought it was the drivers that have to piss in bottles.

No one's forcing them to work there 🤷‍♂️. Start your own amazon.

yeah, minimum wage worker, just beat one the biggest companies of human history

People said the same thing about Walmart but the great Jeff bezos worked hard and did it.

People here are saying they want to pay Amazon's competitors, and your argument is that they shouldn't do that because the workers should be starting their own Amazon competitors...

Their social situation probably does. If you are a good for nothing, or they won't hire you anywhere else, what would you rather? Being homeless or working for Amazon?

Well my social situation means I have to take a bargain where it becomes available to me. Not just hypothetically, I've actually been homeless in the past so I don't want to end up there again because I was spending more than I need to of my meager income in some desperate attempt to support people who own brick and mortar businesses. That's a lot more than I've ever had.

So it's amazons fault for giving "good for nothings" a place to work? Sounds like they are helping the situation
