I don't understand what is expected here. Nobody can get masks or sanitizer. What little there is is getting redirected to hospitals. It's not even a money thing.

This person is advocating boycotting Amazon and going to local grocery stores instead. What the hell? How is that better?

Have some empathy. If you worked in the warehouse or have a family member that does, you might feel different. The issue is not that grocery stores are better, but that if someone get's sick, at least sanitize and deep clean if that makes your workers happy.

Empathy is precisely what Amazon and people arguing in favor of Amazon are lacking.
