‘Has flat buttocks,’ ‘cusses when scared’: Amazon keeps shockingly specific customer profiles

Why are so many of you still shopping with Amazon? Genuinely I do not understand it.

Because Amazon wiped out what Walmart and other big box stores didn’t kill in the first round. Sometimes there’s literally no place else to get what I need, not even order it in to a local store. On top of that, Google search for products is so wrecked that the choices it returns are amazon links, or links to websites that also provide amazon links to the same products. It’s fucked up.

(FWIW I do buy local or direct from businesses other than Amazon when possible, but it’s simply not possible all the time)

So what you’re saying is, you shop on Amazon because it’s easy… yeahhh that’s not a good enough excuse.

Sure bud. I’m not here to drive 9 hours and two states over to pick up something I need, if that’s even an option, just to satisfy whatever BS arbitrary metric you have in your head.

Or… and here me out here, maybe just do a little more research and purchase online from companies that AREN’T Amazon.

I get we all want shopping to be easier, but that’s no excuse to fund the facist machine that is Amazon.

I’m going to hold your hand when I say this because I know this will be hard to hear, but it’s not just about you and your “convenience” buddy.

I’m disabled and can’t drive anywhere, and I somehow manage to figure it out. Sometimes it takes a while, but I can do it.

What could you possibly be shopping for that’s only on Amazon? And if said company is only on Amazon— why would you want to support them anyway?

All I’m saying is, if an idiot like me can do it, so can you.

I feel llke you really need to watch the show, The Good Place. After you finish it, come back to your comments and you’ll understand why I said this.

I’ve seen the Good Place, but I’m not sure what you’re referencing sorry.

The point I’m making that you are making it seem llke it’s a lot easier than it is to do the right thing. Not everyone has the time, money, and mental energy that you have to seek out more wholesome alternatives. Sometimes you just need something, and you need it now with minimal friction.

You are very lucky and privileged that you have the time and patience to put up with the hassle of doing business with a small company. There are way too many scammers and unreliable merchants out there and it’s a game of Whack-A-Mole separating the legit small businesses from the bullshitters. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have to patience to wait up to a year for something that may or may not arrive. Some people like my girlfriend do. I don’t.

I get where you’re coming from and try my best not to fund the fascist machine, but I’m only human, and sometimes I just want to take the easy route and order something off of Amazon. And there’s nothing wrong with that, because I know my heart is in the right place.

Nope on every account. But hey, enjoy your cheap ass Nazi playes from Amazon I guess.

I’m absolutely privileged, but that has nothing to do with my ability to shop any other place than Amazon.

But hey, if you need to keep lying to yourself have it.
