I despise this company just on how they treat employees. I use Amazon only if I absolutely have to. Obviously some things you just can't find locally. I also understand ordering something and having it sent directly to the person as well.

I think it's a sad, pathetic reflection on society at this point. It's too difficult to go out and interact with actual people so we would rather isolate ourselves and pretend that we're just too busy to actually do stuff. We have so many conveniences now that I can't wrap my head around how we are any busier than 30 years ago.

Companies like Amazon are a bad thing for everyone, but we'll just ignore the problems because it's not directly affecting us right this second.

Yeah big box retail jobs are crappy but some people need them and while those companies dint treat employees the best they treat them better than Amazon.
