Current Events > New Amazon warehouse near me is such an eyesore

(+) Yeah! (+)

You can see the goddamn behemoth looming over the trees from several miles away.

And it's a single lane road on each end of the immediate area so traffic is gonna get bad once the trucks and wage slaves start pouring in and out.

damn i was going to suggest different traffic route to avoid them.

I worked at one for a while as data entry. I can confirm that when the shifts change the roads get fucking bad.

The roads will be particularly bad if it's like the one I worked at briefly that actively did not have enough parking for all of the employees and it literally took a hour or more at times to leave for the day. Expect it to be even worse during the holidays.

I can go a little more out of the way, but the road where this is going was so much quicker going home from work.

Development in the area I'm in has rapidly outpaced the roads. And there's no real way to fix it without some absolutely massive eminent domain spree.

Well yes

Your trees must be bushes if you can see a standard warehouse over them.

You've never seen an amazon warehouse have you

They aren't a standard warehouse

Lucky, same day deliveries, I wish I lived next to an Amazon warehouse.

you should simply join them

Order something from Amazon, see if it comes from there

Lol

That's messed up, Amazon is just like Foxcon

I wonder what kind of work they would make you do

Being a customer is amazing

I would never be an employee. I've heard most people can't last there. They have massive turnover. Nobody likes working for them

It's a giant, but also there's some elevation changes that make it stand out.

I read a work got fired for making 4 mistakes in a week, the mistakes were not like dropping and breaking products but scanning the wrong item. Worst than that the performer processed more than 10,000 items that week but got fired for scanning 4 items wrong. Amazon is messed up.

Is it though? Their customer service is abysmal.

xD

Surprised they dont do external parking lots and then do shuttles over from there. Though that would require a modicum of sense for accommodating their employees.

I've ordered from Amazon once. Someone just dumped the package at my door and I never even heard or saw them arrive even though I was home all day.

10/10 tbh I wish everyone would be like this. One day all human interaction will be eradicated for convenience.

i was gonna look at the last thing i ordered on the app, but they appear to wipe your purchase history after 3 months, so... nevermind

i use mercari and reverb more anyway

Ours sits off a business highway.

Guess it won't be too much trouble for most drivers.

I was thinking more when something goes wrong. It's a miserable experience dealing with customer support. Also, all their deals are kind of shit.

Thats not my experience at all
Customer support always just immediately sends a new item out for me and says keep both if they both show up. What kind of issues are you having?

Do you ever say anything positive

Amazon is known for having the simplest customer service experience when dealing with returns.

They either immediately issue a refund, or they just send a duplicate item and tell you to keep the original if salvageable.

Most of them do this, actually. SO yeah.

Isn't it generally a bad experience with customer support? Good customer support is hard to find even within the same company. Also I don't think I'd go to Amazon for good deals anyway, their job is having all the stuff. I'm sure there's places better than Amazon for good deals.

Amazon is just internet Wal-Mart

There's no such thing as a "good deal" when buying items online you either get it wholesale, buying it at a jacked up price, or making it from scratch yourself lol.

I work for the greatest company in the world (exaggeration).

Guardians of the Galaxy was the best game of 2021 and one of the most enjoyable campaigns I've ever experienced.

It's really just one experience tbh. I do very little business with Amazon anymore. Had a preordered game sent to the wrong address and they told me that they'd have to receive the package back before they could send me a new one or give me a refund. It made no sense.

Ok

GotG was indeed really good. If there's a sequel they need to improve the gameplay though
