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?

Image: Billionaires beautifully shine absolutely NOTHING into the lives of people who defend them online.

Besos could easily have the best paid workers, with the best conditions, the best customer service, require delivery that cares, ensure the best quality goods, and still be over a hundred thousand times richer than a millionaire, but he doesn't. He wants the extra money more. So much power, so much money, so much squeezing the normal folk just a bit harder for a bit more profit.
