The treatment of warehouse workers and of people with different non office jobs is a strong reason why I will never work at a place like Amazon or Walmart.

Glad to see some people sticking up for each other in these times especially.

I've cancelled any and all memberships, subscriptions, etc. with Amazon and anything they own, and I'm no longer ordering anything from them. It's completely unacceptable to treat workers this way, even if Bezos weren't the richest person on earth. Which he is! So on top of treating people like disposable garbage, he controls a plurality of the world's resources and refuses to mobilize any of them to help his workers.

Almost every business in the developed world relies on warehouse workers and pickers. Any manufacturer that sells parts or replacement parts relies on pickers. Every grocery store chain or department store chain relies on warehouse workers and pickers.

Small outlets rely on distributors that rely on warehouse workers and pickers.

Just about everything people use, eat, ride, drive, or wear relies on warehouse workers.

Most non-Amazon warehouse workers are treated worse and paid less than Amazon employees.

If you hate Amazon so be it, but hating them for the way they treat their warehouse workers and pickers is not rational unless you hate just about every modern business equally.

Most standard household stuff can be bought via eBay from small shops or directly from the vendors. I recently bought from a small online shop that even has a YouTube video with an employee person showing how he prepares a package.

Obviously most businesses cannot realize fully automated picking yet, but even those who can't: preventing employees from drinking water is a human right violation.
