Where do you think the government gets its money?
We tip our delivery / pickup people 5 bucks for orders which are well south of $100. Masks and hand sanitizers and gloves are what they need to do their jobs. That and customers keeping away from them 6-10 feet. You can't let yourself just walk up close to someone you see working in a store to ask them a question, like you could in the beforetime.
The take away is this- truck drivers, stocking clerks, checkout people are essential to a functioning society. Hollywood stars, entertainers and media personalities are not.
- chrischen 7y agoWithout entertainment or entertainers we’d all probably be killing ourselves from deaths of despair during a quarantine like this. They are essential, just not immediately essential.
- legitster 7y agoAbsolutely, agree with the other points. But the one I specifically disagreed with was paying all of the at-risk employees. These are people who cannot and should not be making deliveries. And I don't think Amazon should be paying their wages for potentially 18 months. As an Amazon customer, you would essentially be paying to fund a completely privatized unemployment program.
