I agree about the distasteful hyperbole, but that is what the Internet and social media have become in today's outrage culture. Social media is rampant with hyperbolic reactions to the very slightest of offenses. So the tone of the messages cited in the article, from my point of view at least, seem tangential to the matter of Amazon Fresh. The tone is a problem with social media and outrage culture in general.
I believe the other reply by derefr says more or less the same thing but with more thinking behind why it happens. Meanwhile, I'm saying that I have become desensitized to the sensationalism of social media, tweets in particular, though I still recognize the hyperbole and would prefer less of it.
