I don't know why you're focused on whether Amazon should be given "leeway." Even if you only care about corporate Amazon, then maybe it's not in their best interest to have no idea how their company actually functions in the real world? There were stories before, just like there had been about UPS, Uber, etc (helpfully linked in this "apology") -- but this only super blew up when they issued their snarky denial to a member of Congress that anybody would ever pee into a bottle, and implying that the Congressman was a fool for believing such a tall tale.
- totalZero 6y agoI think we have to put the tweet in the context of Amazon having already spent years defending itself from claims that people in its warehouses aren't allowed to go to the bathroom. Also, the fact that the tweet was snarky is irrelevant. Twitter is a place for snark. If a delivery driver wants to use a restroom they ought to have the liberty/permission/time to do so. But if a delivery driver prefers to take a leak in a bottle and use some hand sanitizer afterwards, that doesn't strike me as a problem. Call me crazy.
- elicash 6y agoI didn't fault Amazon for being snarky. I noted that when you snark and get the facts wrong, that it'll get more attention.
