I'd like to balance all of this concern for the worker with a broader perspective.
Consider that business isn't charity.
If Amazon made a promise to deliver in 2 days, and I'm paying for that benefit, doesn't that mean I have the right to demand that benefit or be compensated? Does a pandemic mean that Amazon has the right to profit at my expense?
Isn't it a bit self-centered to say "Well, I can afford to toss money away on Prime membership without reaping the benefits, therefore anyone can"? What about those who rely on Prime membership and use it heavily but aren't rich enough to waste money on a service that isn't provided?
Now if normal delivery endangers the health and lives of deliverymen, then would it not make sense to ask for compensation from Amazon?
- res0nat0r 7y agoOnly if your refund doesn't go to you but directly in the pockets of the workers, then yes.
- lonelappde 7y agoWhy would I pay Amazon's workers for not delivering on managements promise? The entrepreneur should pay. Management should pay the workers to work, and only take money from customers for services delivered as promised. If Prime prices go up after current contracts expire, that's fine. Jeff Bezos doesn't need my charity.
