grocery shopping is enjoyable. besides, why would you want someone else picking out your cut of meat, fruit, vegetables.

and you find better caliber of women at nice grocery stores than you would at a club :yeshrug:

That's the thing, nobody really goes to malls anymore. I used to meet chicks at the mall, but I buy things online I've no reason to go plus I'm too old to be posted up at malls like I did when was a preteen.

it's been tried before and companies lost millions....expect amazon to take a write off in a year or two... plus amazon pays poorly and treats their employees like waste....can't be successful that business with high turnover in their warehouses...no one wants to see a new face coming to their home every few weeks bringing their food.


Are Amazon’s Warehouses Equivalent to Modern Day Sweatshops?

Numerous photos, such as this one, inside an Amazon warehouse were widely circulated on the Web earlier this year.

By Edward Nawotka, Editor-in-Chief

It appears that Amazon’s warehouses are the global book distribution chain’s equivalent of modern day sweatshops. Earlier this week Amazon fired its German security firm after a documentary film crew from ARD tied it to a far right wing group. The film crew revealed that seasonal workers hired by an Amazon subcontractor in Germany, many of whom were previously unemployed, were driven around Germany in buses, housed in poor conditions and kept under constant surveillance by the aforementioned security guards.

The Financial Times notes in their report on the firing:

On their arrival in Germany the temps were allegedly housed several to a cabin at a vacant holiday park where they were dependent on unreliable and overcrowded bus services. The workers were monitored by a security company called Hensel European Security Services, whose initials, the programme pointed out, spell out the surname of Hitler’s deputy, Rudolf Hess.

This follows a thorough Financial Times report that documented the numerous complaints of Amazon warehouse workers in the UK, which included being issued cheap, ill-fitting footwear and being required to walk between 7 and 15 miles per day.

The FT studied Amazon’s labor practices, as well as broken promises. In 2011, “an Amazon official told a parliamentary committee the company employed about 15,000 people,” but according to 2011 accounts, Amazon averaged just 3,023 employees. And many of Amazon’s employees are temps with no benefits or long-term prospects with the company. Talk about bait-and-switch.

Of course, the company makes no apology for their practices. As the FT quotes Jeff Bezos saying in an earlier Forbes interview, after the magazine had named him CEO of the Year, “Our culture is friendly and intense, but if push comes to shove, we’ll settle for intense.”

Push comes to shove. Interesting turn of phrase, particularly in the context of the trouble in Germany.

The online giant is creating thousands of UK jobs, so why are some employees less than happy?
