Disrupting the business model means sucking the juice out of everything.
I got a package delivered by Amazon. It was "left in a secure location" according to the Amazon delivery driver. Turns out it was delivered at 9 pm, left outside my condo building in a February winter storm.
I can't complain about it (short of the item review) and Amazon doesn't learn that their driver sucks.
But hey, it's better for Amazon's bottom line, and divorce attorneys aren't free, ya know.
- jjeaff 8y ago"sucking the juice" is a fun way to put it. Uber for example, is thought of a company that is streamlining transportation and this profiting off of the increased efficiency. In reality, what appears to be happening is Uber is a massive scheme to siphon off vehicle depreciation for an enormous number of drivers that are hard up for cash. The VCs aren't the only ones subsidizing cheap rides. The drivers are taking the brunt of it.
- dx87 8y agoThere's a driver for Amazon that regularly delivers packages to my house that reek of cigarette smoke, to the point that I have to open it outside and throw the box away to keep my house from stinking. I'm in the same boat as you, no way that I know of to complain about the driver.
