Is Amazon all right?

<< < (2/3) > >>

fallacy:
I always thought 3 to 4 days was normal, I don't care as long as I don't have to pay extra for it. Once you get past a week, that's when buying things online becomes annoying. Usually When I make an amazon purchase I just forget about it, I know it will make it to my porch eventually. But on the same day WTF, how do you even have time to process it and give it to one of your drivers.

Amazon is automated to the max.  The only way it could become more automated than it is, is when viable humanoid robots actually become a thing.

But there is also this: People in their own semi-comfortable bubbles don't realize just how bad the economy is right now for those who aren't enjoying that circumstance.    The vast majority of folks are financially over-extended, with maxed-out credit cards being used for food, and now that it is getting cooler in some places, heat.  Those people, who in the past were regular purchasers of trinkets and doo-dads on Amazon and other online retailers, have now been forced to forego those types of activities.  As a result, and also in no small way due to Amazon, small businesses are dropping like flies, some which aren't even that small.

Just a couple of days ago, I heard a report indicating that some massive layoffs are coming at Amazon.  They were overstaffed for the coof, but now the numbers are not needed.  So yes, I am sure that given all of the above, they have the capacity to do that and more at the moment.

pbj:
Amazon built a warehouse about three miles away from me, so if they have it you’ll get it same day.

Walmart+ is even faster.  I’ve ordered stuff at 2-3am and it’s here by 6am.  Dumb stuff like consoles and games.

God bless modernity.

I don't want to live in this sick world where you can instantly get whatever you want by clicking a button. :)
