Whole Foods Workers Say Amazon Prime Shoppers Are Overwhelming Stores | Eater
"Employees report that stores are being overrun by Amazon Prime shoppers who often ignore social-distancing rules, empty shelves before staff can restock, and rely on employees to locate items — one employee even called these shoppers “vultures.” The pickup process is complicated by missing items: when something is out of stock, the shopper must scan a QR code provided by an employee to continue, creating lines of shoppers waiting for staff to scan codes. Workers say this makes it harder to stock safely, while Prime shoppers are under pressure to fulfill as many orders as possible to earn a living. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the stores are owned by Amazon, whose founder, Jeff Bezos, has seen large financial gains this year." - Jaya Saxena
