I have one employee that regularly destroys the office bathroom. Not sure what he eats, but it ain’t right.
God invented coffee as a laxative. Coffee. Shit. Shower. Shave. Then go to work with a clean bunghole.. . .

Fuck that, getting paid to take a shit is one of few truly great benefits of being an hourly wage slave. they can take the time to really enjoy a good dump.

Well, you could’ve invested in plastics.

I gave into amazon last year
they know how to do it right and make my life easy
a colorado based hardware store's web site said they had the part I needed in stock went to the store asked someone where it was and he had no clue and said they don't have any
get on amazon and I have the part minus the wasted trip in three days
they make it too easy
prime up here is usually 3-4 days the 2 days is bullshit
I spend at least 25k a year at another online retailer build.com buying pallets of toilets bathtubs and plumbing fixtures
went to the local plumbing supply place yesterday, colorado based with a few stores, asked for a certain special toilet 10 inch center round bowl comfort height and he told me they don't have any
get online and in 15 mins I have four toilets on the way plus my special one
small businesses most of the time cause their own demise
amazon sucks balls if you look at the big picture but hell they are great
sometimes I will look for a product there and buy it on that retailers website as others have said

Yup.
Locals calculate turns and earns in order to stay solvent. Amazon uses others inventories to sell to the world. Simple math really. Granted now they actually stock a bunch of shit themselves because they grew and made so much money using other people's inventory and money. Fucking brilliant no doubt. They're an exceptional logistics company. Still fuck them. They should be treating employees better. Not one Amazon employee should need any federal assistance whatsoever, but they do.

Another reason they suck is how they don't even actually employ drivers from what I've seen. When AMZ was ramping up big time last year at the beginning of the pandemic, everyone was talking about how they need drivers in a bad way, so I checked into it. 100% of the jobs were working for contractors (ie "Amazon Delivery Service Partners"). Even if they have the Amazon van and the blue uniform, they're actually contractors. I believe a HUDGE reason for this is so they can distance themselves from any legal or PR liability if a driver mows over a pedestrian as they go hauling ass through your residential streets as they struggle to meet their delivery requirements. It's messed up. Those guys go FLYING down my street and I see them leap out of the vehicle, SPRINT to a front door, sprint back to the van, and go peeling off to the next stop. The expectations put on those guys is just absurd and then Bezos doesn't even have the balls to claim them as AMZ's own.
Bezos be like: "Oh, a delivery driver ran over and killed a small child and their puppy? Not our problem! Get lost, loser!"
Are ANY of the drivers actual Amazon employees? Perhaps there are some, but not from what I've seen.

Last week, two well-established Amazon delivery companies in Portland, Oregon offered Amazon an ultimatum: agree to a set of conditions that it said would improve revenue and driver safety—or we'll stop delivering Amazon packages.
Amazon refused, and the two companies in the Portland area terminated their contract with Amazon, their only client, effectively shutting down.
"Amazon’s conduct over the past two years has become intolerable, unconscionable, unsafe, and most importantly, unlawful," a letter sent to Amazon by the attorney of the two delivery companies, Triton and Last Mile and obtained by Motherboard, reads.

I mean yeah, Uber and Lyft just make money (or maybe they don't actually make money, not sure) because their drivers don't properly value their inputs - auto depreciation, maintenance, gas, etc. If they did the math, historically it's a mug's game. Now that driver numbers appear to be way down, that may have changed.
Most of the cab companies in Portland do suck rocks, making taking advantage of some hapless gig drivers' financial illiteracy more appealing, but Radio Cab, which is driver-owned, has always been good for me, so that's what I use for any scheduled trips.
