I'm unaware of any issues regarding Amazon and how they treat their fulltime or part time employees. But, if we're going to avoid retail outlets either with brick & mortar or online stores, you don't have to look very hard to find examples of much worse.Ever been to WalMart?
I don't shop there. Never have, never will. Cheap Chinese slave labor or some other third world hellhole that beats and exploits their workers and not even pay a starvation wage.
I'm sure any one of those people would love to have that job at Amazon. I think you need to put things in perspective.....

I don't shop at Walmart and never will as long as they continue their part time, no benefit, low wage, philosophy.
That doesn't excuse others from bad behavior though. Imagine if you were forced to wait in line for 15-30 minutes every day before you could leave work and didn't get paid for it.
They do this through a sub-contractor to avoid the fallout and bad publicity but they are one of the main companies defending the practice.
But I'm not quite sure what that might be. Can you post a link to an article to support your argument?
Oh, and on the plus side, as this is the Audio Asylum, I'm listening to Elton John's Honky Chateau - an all time favorite. What are you listening to?
Another vote for CD Universe.
Did you realize that over 90% of sales at Walmart are Chinese goods? Did you realize that Walmart alone is responsible for almost 10% of Chinese exports to America?
Remember those signs that said "we sell only American products" were hung in Walmart stores? It may be cheaper but we are losing jobs in America because of them, but Walmart does not treat it's employees well anyway..
