Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity

  I could’ve sworn I said BestBuy…which I would consider “niche” in that, I can’t think of a single other retailer in my area that competes directly as an electronics store.

  There’s maybe an appliance shop nearby still? But I’m hundreds of miles away from even a Fry’s. No more CircuitCity or CompUSA or even Sears.

  If I didn’t have a wholesale club nearby or a MicroCenter ~90 mins away, I wouldn’t have a clue where to buy a TV (for example), in person, besides WalMart, Target, or BestBuy.

    Fry’s as in fry’s electronics? Didn’t they go bankrupt because one of the owners was embezzling?

      they were already crumbling in 2019 and covid killed them, that’s the official story, anyway
