I just bought... once? From Amazon, ca. 2007. Then I learned how their warehouse workers are treated and boycotted them since then.
Who do you buy from then that you know has better warehouse worker conditions?
I've been reading first hand comments since the Digg days, and can be summed up consistently as:
No prior warehouse experience - doom and gloom unfair work conditions, Amazon evil
Prior warehouse experience - pretty typical, better than average, but metrics are annoying mental overhead.
So I ask with sincerity - do you know that the places you shop app are actually better, or are you just anti Amazon because you have heard bad things, but don't know about others?
I assume that person is simply making it up. They did not learn about the working conditions in ~2007. I assume the first articles about that came many years later. Google seems to have removed the custom date range, so I can't check. Feels like that came up around 2015. wiki names 2011
You need to switch to desktop mode.
Good damn fucking Google. Why would you hide an already hidden feature even more?
