> have zero incentive to prevent employees from warming themselves in their vehicles. I would think the angry mob of people without vehicles to warm in would provide a pretty good incentive. "Why do they get to stay in their warm cars while we're stuck out in the cold?" can escalate pretty quickly. I don't envy the supervisors. What do you do? You don't want to see your brethren exit the shelter they found, but you also don't want to get lynched by those who couldn't find shelter.

> I would think the angry mob of people without vehicles to warm in would provide a pretty good incentive. You know that humans in stressful situations don't immediately go all lord-of-the-flies, what actually happens is that people help each other. So people would let other people share their cars. I swear to god sometimes it's like nobody here has ever met a person.

  Of course. But you do understand that cars can only hold so many people, right? So the people turned in the opposite direction by helping each other brave the cold. The people with cars could have gone all “I got mine”, but once made aware that others were suffering chose to act to the benefit of the group instead. It’s interesting how you managed to write an entire comment about just that, yet don’t seem to understand it.

  > I swear to god sometimes it's like nobody here has ever met a person. This exactly. This sub is wild sometimes. I have no dog in this fight. I believe the truth is (as always) somewhere in the middle of “Amazon was unanimously shitty” and “the people are lying about what happened”. I just continue to not understand how much binary thinking is happening in these comments.

    > I just continue to not understand how much binary thinking is happening in these comments Isn't that just a natural consequence of the fact that people will only post about things they don't know about in order to explore things that they haven't fully considered? Naturally, if you are certain you've got it figured out there wouldn't be any value in posting anything. What could anyone add? But when you don't know, you can explore different ideas and see where they go. As such, the ideas shared will always be incomplete.

No, I think the entire premise of "people will only post about___" is yet more binary thinking. People post about all kinds of things. > Naturally, if you are certain you've got it figured out there wouldn't be any value in posting anything. Again, no. > What could anyone add?

IME, when having to remain in the "right zone" for your building section during an emergency, people who parked farther away are invited into the cars of the people who parked near the zone. Either that or you tell your boss "it's too fucking cold out here. I got out safely and I'm going to sit in my car in the other lot."
