And for all the shrieking about Amazon destroying "mom and pop" shops these people never admit that Amazon pays their employees much more, often 2x what the mom and pop's did.
Or did you really think mom and pop were paying the teens running their bookstore $17/hr? You think they had great health insurance and other benefits?
- Larrikin 5y agoI personally think it's ridiculous that people find it amazing that 15 an hour is considered amazing pay for anyone that isn't a teenager working their first job, but Amazon gets high praise for doing it. Most people on here would laugh at a job that pays 600 a week, 2400 a month or 28800 a year before taxes.
- tootie 5y ago15 is there minimum though. Meaning any teenager with a driver's license is getting 15. This guy (a grownup with no delivery experience) was getting 17 plus overtime.
- chmod600 5y agoHow much is 28800 a year after taxes?
- woobar 5y agoDepends on state. ~$24K-$25K
- skystarman 5y agoNo one is here saying it's "amazing" I am here saying that, yes that paltry $15 an hour you scold Amazon for paying? Well mom and pop they drove out of business was paying about HALF of that.
