It was a big flop last year.

I was supposed to be in feeders this week. Bosses called everyone on vacation to see if anyone wanted to work. Bums me out.

Can they do that?

The only thing Prime day means to me is "FedEx 'Too Big for the post office' Express overdrive".

M.E.H.

And to me, all it means is hundreds of flat screen TV's going to the Redmond hub. I'll take that over carts of 90 lb AC's.

What, do the 90 lb ACs stop coming in honor of Prime Day or something?

Great, a 10% discount on crap they couldn't sell at 50% off regularly. Just a hype train to clear out excess inventory.

Based on the number of e-mails I have received thus far they must have a lot of crap to get rid of.

Yeah, they'll have a lightening deal for 20 TV's that get bought up in .03 seconds, then sprinkle in a kitchen gadget that says 60% off, based on a retail price 4 years ago.

Doing this job has made me disgusted with all this needless consumerism.

...yet people will still take advantage of them (or be taken advantage of by them)...

For a few days while consumers decide if they want to be cool in their homes, or watch some ty reality show in 12K.

Although your job is part of that 'needless consumerism' ... shoot yourself in your Brother's foot often.

I just wish they'd give the prime members an extra 10% off anything, or something like that. Wonder how much stuff sold that day gets return, after they figured they didn't want it anyways.
