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.

Yup, and there are tons of alternatives. Maybe sometimes it's not obvious for instance where to get some movies or order certain stuff. But a bit searching often pays off and sometimes reveals even more interesting places where to buy things. (I wish AWS wasn't that popular though...)

I try to avoid Amazon when it's feasible. Care to list alternatives worth mentioning? Google express/shopping was great until it really just fell off a cliff a year or two ago.

For Video on demand apart from iTunes, Netflix there are plenty of niche websites especially for art house movies, criterionchannel.com is probably the largest though.

And for the German market for example there is book delivery from thalia.de which can deliver via mail or to a book shop. (And momox.de for used book buy/sell - I stopped selling books on Amazon years ago because it's just too much effort, Momox has a simple bulk preparation)

Thanks but I'm more concerned about daily basics and groceries - both areas where Amazon is recently ascendant.

Yeah ok, not sure about that. I basically try the online shopping functions that the supermarket/drug store chains offer that I would normally enjoy visiting in person. (But I have to plan in advance for that) Also I'm trying Hello Fresh soon.

But I mean when there is no other alternative, it would probably be exaggerated to not buy at Amazon in the current situation...
