What a choice. Beat myself up trying to shop in bricks-and-mortar stores, versus beating up others by proxy by ordering from their obnoxious bosses. What a choice.

Hate it. I buy so many books here. And really have a sort of brand loyalty to them. I buy things in bulk from them. I click through other sites so that part of the money goes to charity. But that doesn't really probably make up for these horrible things. Why oh why amazon must you do this? My only consolation (sort of?) is that I think probably most companies I buy from are horrible and that if I want to keep buying from corporations, this is mostly this is what I will put up with. Target. Gap. Amazon. Although I did switch to Apple from Dell. Its just that I wanted to like amazon. Ugg. It is a good incentive to order more books from the local book store even if they have to special order them..... Oh, I hate to read this. Hate it. I buy so many books here.

My guess is he knows nothing about what goes on in warehouses, but I could be wrong....perhaps he'll say it was all a set-up! Those darn reporters! I actually thought about your brother-in-law.
