Jeff Bezos 'happy to lose' customers over Black Lives Matter message
Fox Business News ^ | 8 June 2020 | Fox Business

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos responded to a profanity-laced email from a customer who criticized the company's support for the Black Lives Matter movement and said he would take his business elsewhere.

His reaction? Good riddance.

"This sort of hate shouldn't be allowed to hide in the shadows," Bezos wrote Sunday on Instagram with a screenshot of the email from someone named Dave. "It's important to make it visible. This is just one example of the problem. And, Dave, you're the kind of customer I'm happy to lose."

Problem with that strategy is we’re the only ones that know how to do anything. Reality bites.

It is never smart to piss off 65% of your customer base.

It doesn't really matter when 64.99999% of them will continue shopping at Amazon.

As my mother used to tell me when I was a child... "just because somebody makes a lot of MONEY doesn't mean he KNOWS anything"

On the bright side, I have been boycotting anything the evil Bezos has to do with for several years.

So he lost me long ago.

Jeff Bezos has done more for minorities , like hiring them! How much more pandering should he do???? Bezos should be blasting that stupid OCASIO Chicky for destroying the Queens NY Amazon deal! It’s not a very hard thing to do. Shop locally and even though it may a few extra dollars and days to get an item, you can tell BEZOS , Yea , I am Dave!

Didn’t Bezos once say he only wants customers who support same-sex marriage?

If Amazon gets busted up into 20 different companies Jeff Bezos will own stock in all of them.

My wife and I were talking about cutting the Amazon "cord". It's not going to be easy to give up our Prime membership, unlimited kindle books, unlimited music, etc. But we're seriously thinking of doing just that. Even unplugging our half dozen echo and show devices. We have greatly cut back on orders - primarily only ordering certain vitamin supplements through Amazon for now. We've found many things available from the vendors directly, thereby by-passing Amazon. And much of what we've bought from Amazon is available online from Walmart and Ebay, also with free shipping.

My gut feeling is that we're going to end up cutting the cord totally, and will never use Amazon ever again, after after being a loyal customer of theirs for over 15 years!

We feel that strongly about Amazon's attempt to force their views on us. Amazon probably donates millions to Planned Parenthood while virtue signalling how much they're supporting BLM (a possible DNC money laundering scheme) - well babies lives matter (BLM) too, Amazon!!!
