Ridiculous article that boils down to "I can't buy everything through Amazon and I believe that I'm entitled to an explanation of an inter-corporate dispute."

Ridiculous article that boils down to "I can't buy everything through Amazon and I believe that I'm entitled to an explanation of an inter-corporate dispute."
>I take it personally that the company doesn’t think it owes me even a half-baked explanation for why I can’t buy some books from it."
Corporations make decisions based almost entirely on monetary factors. The article's author is not a shareholder or Amazon employee and is not entitled to the minutes of meetings or corporate strategy documents. Some bars don't serve Guinness. If I want a Guinness and the bar doesn't serve it, I'll order something else or go to a different bar. The bartender doesn't owe me a handwritten rationalization as to why they're not in a relationship with a distributor.
edit: Unless Guinness paid me. Then I would complain and blog about it. Maybe Reuters works the same way.
