Amazon trying to cover their ass?

Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

    People also order on temu. Amazon is oftentimes the same but with one day delivery. And Amazon does not just sell trash, since you can still get almost anything. An iPhone from Amazon is the same as an iPhone directly from Apple or from some smaller shop. And it might be cheaper, additional to the quick delivery. Amazon can still be incredibly convenient. If I know I need something important tomorrow and there’s no local store, Amazon it is. But of course, if I just want a thing without hurry, there are usually some better/cheaper options.

    Also, you sound like a nightmare customer. Do you also break stuff in small privately owned shops or do you at least stick to big corporate stores?

      I put everything through stress, yes. I’m more prone to be tough on big box stores mostly because small mom and pop shops are stupidly hard to find anymore.

      Call me a nightmare customer all you want. Don’t bother me. I’m tired of broken garbage and having to replace everything constantly.

        But isn’t that exactly what independent reviews are for? Be it on YouTube or in written form, there are people ahead doing what you are doing but without doing it to someone else’s property.
