Ever been to a restaurant or bar in the evening or on a weekend? Ever taken a bus/train/flight in the evening or on a weekend? Congratulations, you have "forced" people to provide services to you "outside normal working hours".
It's completely normal and absolutely acceptable for infrastructure to be provided at "odd" hours. Obviously, all those people must be paid extra for work outside "normal" hours. Personally, I would gladly pay more for a delivery I am more likely to actually receive.
- danmaz74 9y agoYes I go to restaurants, and I pay a hefty extra for the service compared to the same products bought in a supermarket. Instead, when I buy online, I almost always get (and search for) free delivery.
- danmaz74 9y agoLOL at the downvoters.
- tom_mellior 9y ago> when I buy online, I almost always get (and search for) free delivery Me too, but that's mainly because the more expensive options are worse, in my experience. For example, "free" delivery by mail into my actual mailbox vs. "premium" delivery with a parcel service forcing me to be at home an entire day on which they might come by. I would pay extra for a premium service if it were actually better. (Agreed with your LOL at the downvoters.)
- zuppy 9y agoNo, you don't. You only pay the servers, what about the kitchen staff?
- krapp 9y ago>Obviously, all those people must be paid extra for work outside "normal" hours Amazon isn't likely to pay employees anything extra for working outside of "normal" hours, though.
- tom_mellior 9y agoThere are laws about that. I would guess those laws are the reason that other delivery firms don't offer evening delivery, but I don't know if Amazon might try and get away with it.
