Apparently some employees at Amazon don’t want some paying customers reading what she has to say. Here are some reviews that were low for the same reason Ms. Owens sited:
What happened to free speech unless someone’s character is defamed through libel? How about free commerce, as in someone pays for merchandise, they should get it in good condition?
I hope if an employee is caught defacing merchandise someone else purchased their employment is terminated without benefit of compensation.
It doesn’t qualify as censorship, but it’s certainly hostile customer service. Amazon has the right to refuse to sell the book, but if they’re going to carry it then they need to ensure their employees don’t vandalize the merchandise.
That’s entirely too logical, but nowhere near as fun as the thought of Amazon employees crackin’ a jar of Vick’s over every Turning Point USA crate that enters the warehouse.
Tons of books get damaged. As a prolific reviewer of the books I buy from Amazon it is not unusual to see reviews that comment that the book was somewhat damaged.
Amazon will replace any books that are damaged.
Its laughable to think that somehow Amazon as a corporate entity decided to deface her books.
But as we know Trump supporters see conspiracies and plots everywhere.
I can link you to a local story from my town where a right-wing “nut-wit” engaged in similar hi-jinx on private property. the left does not own the market on not tolerating opposing views and using it as a slam on an opposing political party is rather lazy and detached from reality.
Amazon is highly automated, the workers who have to work at top speed to keep up with the automation don’t have the time or inclination to care about what people are purchasing. Guess what, Candace Owens is not exactly all that famous. If I didn’t post here I would have no idea who she was.
Oh and it’s super easy to get a damaged item replaced at Amazon. My husband does it all the time, he has to have his books and CDs pristine.
It’s a bad look, but I don’t know. The hand sanitizer theory is entirely plausible, and those warehouse jobs were reputed to be the Seventh Circle of Hell even before the pandemic.
You think people working a boring job in a warehouse, across multiple warehouses in the country, across 1000s of workers who all handle items at random, care about any one particular item they handle?
It’s laughable. It’s what is so laughable about the gullible ever victimized rightists like Candace.
