Now SJWs affecting business

[nate]

Amazon expanding same day service to predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods after being criticized.  Because I am sure these people spend enough money on Amazon to constitute the decision.

Yeah. Seems USA Today put an extra R in one of the words on the title of the article, eh?

What happens if your parcel delivery guy is afraid to deliver to your hood?

One of those T-shirt cannons should do the trick.

Lol I think the USPS uses those everywhere

[Taylor]

Uh, a lot of white people getting their panties in a bunch over this. Good for Amazon. 

[nate]

For wasting money and putting their delivery drivers in danger?  Yeah... good for them.

[gotbeer]

It's not the delivery drivers I'd be worried about.  It's the guys following the delivery drivers, and swiping the packages off the porch.  We have that issue in our neighborhood recently, and it's not a bad neighborhood.  Well, except when the poor people visit.

[Jason]

Amazon has nothing to gain by doing this. It will cost them in the long run

They're just responding to the marketplace. They wouldn't react this way unless they felt that it was in their best interest to react as such. 

[nate]

Right, they never would have done it if they weren't called racist.

Right, because that's what I said.

Hands up! Don't Shop!

[HaloMagic]

Isn't this just free market? A company deciding that they'd rather lose a little money in one sector than lose a lot of money by having people think they are racist?

 

So now not only do we want companies to be racist if they want, we want them to be racist even if they don't want?

 

Good grief. The SJWs may be one thing but the Free Market Warriors are so twisted they don't even understand the thing they are fighting for.

free market warriors

[Spirit]

Ha!  HM thinks Amazon was being racist before. 

[nate]

The point is the SJW morons can't tell the difference between a smart business decision and racism.

[Amazing Larry]

Soul Glow's sales forecast just went through the roof.

So why isn't a giant company like Amazon more capable of managing a situation like that? It looks to me like the SJWs are doing a better job of influencing the marketplace than the guys at Amazon in this case. How is that possible? It's about time that 2003 cezero jumps in this thread to call Amazon incompetent.

It is easier for Amazon to just do this and lose money than deal with morons calling them racist.

Edge: morons 

Amazon's getting worked. Not too smart. 

 

 

[Spirit]

Let it not be said that racial blackmail doesn't work. 

[Make Angels Great Again]

Doing this loses Amazon less money than gaining a rep as "racists" (even though they're not, but that's besides the point).

[arch stanton]

A group of people doing what they think is in their best interest and another group responding by doing what they think is in their best interest. I'm just not feeling the outrage.
