Progress!
25 years ago I could get everything I need within 1 hour by riding the tram or my bicycle to the store.
Where staff with a 3-year education recommended the right product for me, and weren’t aggressively pushed by their employer to upsell.
(This wasn’t in the US though).
Today, the only things left in the city are shops for smartphones, sports betting, vapes and barbers where the haircut somehow costs half as much as the mandatory minimum wage with taxes.Honestly I don’t think it can. In USA there is this shit called “law of precedence” and also there is this precedence that means companies are liable in court if they don’t prioritize shareholder profit.
Any reform that could possibly work must probably start with outlawing stock markets and loans.
The Longer I live, the more I realise America is just Rapture City from Bioshock with some adjustments.
We don’t want or need one hour shipping. We want Jeff bezos to divide his net worth equally among all his employees so they can have a comfortable living while working their asses off every day.
Tbh I don’t really want a 1 hour lunch break. Wtf do I do with an hour? Mostly end up sat around bored for most of the time and not even getting paid for it.
If it’s a paid break I am more interested.
I get a half hour paid break and am hour lunch. You don’t know what you’re missing out on the be so staunchly against it.
Meh, still not happy about their overpromise on drone delivery years ago. Would much rather have a drone drop something off than someone peeing in a cup in a truck.
There’s nothing wrong with 5-7 buisness days, or 3-5. Whichever. We can go to the store if it’s an emergency.
We can’t easily go to the store when many things don’t sell in brick and mortar anymore. When everything is online and the price is as low as it gets, it’s a battle of convenience.
There is nothing wrong with longer shipping times, but they won’t exactly win customers over.
I avoid Amazon by principle, but I’ve had to use it to source materials urgently on an occasion.Argos in the UK is pretty good, delivery or get it in store and their products are in a small warehouse upstairs or round the back. Generally find it’s cheap but not as shit as Amazon for quality.
I would easily trade this. I already get same day shipping, give them the hour for sure.
Xitter :(
nah, what would jeff bozo do if he didn’t make another billion dollars? We can’t have him GASP LOSING MONEY!
I want my widgets as fast as possible. If they have to poop in bottles so be it.
We used to have 2 day shipping. Now I’m lucky to get stuff the same week with prime. Price decrease? Nope price increase. Amazon sucks.
That was my experience. Also the 2 hour prime stuff when offered was never stuff you needed, its gonna be paper towels or a hat or something competely stupid, not like a car part that if I could get it here in 2 hours would be really fucking helpful so I could finish the project today!
I don’t care about one hour shipping. Aren’t those workers overworked as it is?
I don’t want one hour lunch, I want to go home a half hour early
I want my Amazon packages delivered by the USPS again. They showed up way earlier in the day, and without slave labor
I’d like Amazon broken up.
I haven’t ordered from them in a couple years, I think. They make a stupid amount of money from AWS so me spending $10 elsewhere isn’t a big deal, but it feels worthwhile.
Also, I live in a livable city. A lot of things I can just walk outside and get in under an hour.
AWS makes a lot but the retail side is still the lion’s share of revenue.
Are you sure about that? I thought I remembered someone throwing around numbers for amazon and something like 80% of profit was aws. Revenue doesn’t seem as much of an important issue as pure profits.
