They outnumber UPS trucks and UPS probably can't possibly handle the volume and Amazon pays it's workers far less. Many are on welfare. |

I liked the comment (which doesn't have to be applied to lawyers; it works for actuaries too) that you can get lawyers to pick strawberries if you pay them enough. |

Amazon trucks are not Amazon employees.A previous subchat post a while back cut and pasted the article where they were seeking people to start their own businesses. I htink Amazon bought the vans. |

You can get anybody to pick strawberries with enough pay. They get white european kids to pick fruit in New Zealand using this commmon sense. |

If stores actually carried things I bought, instead of discontinuing everything, I wouldn't need to use Amazon for anything.If stores stopped introducing me to products and brands and cutting them after 5 weeks after I am hooked, my spending at your store wouldn't go down. duh |

Hmm, I've seen some of the others recently. Maybe they are in transition.On my way home from work, I pass by an industrial area, and I've seen the big rigs with the Prime trailers. And of course, these flying into MIA.
