The Great Amazon Heist - Channel 4 Documentary

(Who knew C4 were just uploading their documentaries onto Youtube now? Great to be able to watch on demand and ad free!)

Oobah Butler, the guy who managed to get his garden shed placed as the number 1 London restaurant on Trip Advisor, has been going undercover in Amazon, investigating working conditions, union busting, sales of dangerous goods to children, their tax avoidance, and even selling bottles of piss through the website as drinks. Probably not going to show anything that people aren't expecting, but it's still a pretty shocking reminder of just how shitty they are.

How much for the bottles of piss?

What are the "delivery options"?

2 cans of Fosters.

2 cans were for Guinness.

Man, I NEED to eat at that shed.

I got that.

I ordered 2 SSDs from amazon in the last few months. Both had no SSDs in them. Theft must be through the roof.

That or people abusing the automated returns process that he used in the documentary. I've read plenty of instances elsewhere of people ordering "new" components only to receive something that's been tampered with and been replaced with old parts.

You wouldn't blame them going through those conditions and helping themselves to something to compensate themselves tbf

What's the worst that can happen to them? Forced labour in shite conditions for strawberry float all pay?
