Alfa Citizen (@ChavhanLk) reported@AmazonHelp When I called your customer representative, they are not able to transfer my call to the concerned team. What should I do? The issue is pending since July 7

Michael Reitz (@MrReitz) reported@AmazonHelp It was going to be a two day shipment, so Saturday evening arrival. I figure "okay I still have time." So I go in and attempt to cancel the order. The order status page says that it has shipped. However there's two immediately recognizable problems with this.

Jonas Meyer (@saffsfsfd) reported@markvalorian @abc7newsbayarea Still not her fault if Amazon doesn't correctly display the margin of error for the drop off. She probably expected the drone to cleanly drop off the package next to the pool. But the navigation error of these drones is probably around 1 to 3 meters, just guessing.

Pepper Moirraine (@PepperMoirraine) reported@usbank Has a data breach. Their database allowed my card 'out'. Unless @amazon or @walmart has been compromised, which their personnel smuggly said 'could have happened', it is US Bank whose database has been compromised. Out of nowhere I receive a text telling me I made a charge to "Williams Sonoma" a company that should be shut down for not checking on the cards used and making sure IDs are checked in person and security codes are checked online, between them they have quite the scam going. Worse, they don't notify the customer that their card can't be used after the compromise, not passing "normal and expected" orders from Amazon and Walmart, which is a thing that most banks seem to understand needs to be done --database management is key to security--but US Bank thinks it's all or nothing and the customer then suffers with no overnight shipping of debit cards (my other banks do...) so in essence the customer is punished for the lack of security in the database which you are cutting too many corners on. Nowhere in the bank's website can one even SEE that there was a compromised card attempt. Security? US Bank has no idea. No, I can't have had my card compromised by me. I am a shut-in. No one else has access to my home or my cards, another smug query by those who have no idea what 'customer service' at all. #USBANK is not a kind bank, it's not even a secure bank.

Kubernetix.AI (@KubernetixAI) reported@clovisdsdo the December 2021 us-east-1 outage is the one nobody forgets. not because it was the worst technically, but because it took down Netflix, Slack, and Amazon retail simultaneously. that's when you learn that your SLA is only as good as your region's worst afternoon.

FourPlex Guy Carlos Gonzalez (@dig_deeper1) reportedThis is what I have been warning people since the interest rates crossed the 6% when mortgage payments doubled since Covid. How are people going to be able to make monthly payments of $4000+ for a mortgage? This payment doesn’t take into account the following expenses: HOA 🏡 $100 Electricity cost $170 Water $150 2 car payments $750x2=$1,500.00 Insurance payment (2) $410 Cellphone family plan = $300 Groceries $1350 Eating out $400 Amazon $500 Streaming $70 Gas $220 Total expenses $100+$170+$150+$1500+$410+$300+$1350+$400+$500+$70+$220=$5,170.00 So the mortgage of the house plus other expenses is $4000+$5,170=$9,170.00 I don’t think not even a dual income can live life comfortably when you try to live in a good area. If you purchase a house in 2024 for $525,000 because you wanted to live in a really school district this is more less your expenses. This is where it gets worse Assuming this family only gave 6% downpayment because they’re a first time home buyer then your downpayment was around $30,000 and probably all your savings. Unless you took some of your 401K to do a larger downpayment but that’s a different topic… This family will start foreclosure in 2 years on this house. So by 2026 this family will enter foreclosure and that’s what happened Someone sent me this text so I could take over the payments plus $38,000 down payment. I told them they’re better off letting the house go to action…. A lot of first home buyers gave all their savings to buy a good home in 2024 and will lose all their savings…. In this economic environment is 100% better to rent than buying a house. All it takes is one person getting sick or losing your job and you also lose the house plus your downpayment. If you buy a house as a first home buyer you’re downpayment is $30,000+ and your monthly payment in the $4,000 If you’re a renter on a good area you’re looking at $2500 maybe or $3000 in a house. The average rent on a given house is simply the Mortage of a house assuming 75% downpayment so it’s actually cheaper to rent a good house than to buy your own with 6% DP because the chances of you losing it to foreclosure are exponentially higher… Renting is the way to go You save more money and you invest that money You have the option to increase the % that goes into your 401K or increase your take home pay and invest it or spend it and enjoy it with family

Rahul Karajgikar (@Road_Kill11) reported@dreamsofcode_io well yes, but i still agree with him. i agree with you that almost every skilled job is these 2 things, but i think he means 'writing code' was never the main or hardest part of the job. understanding technical systems conceptually, debugging, knowing how computers and networks work, etc were way more important than writing the code. and if you were good at that, writing code was just translating your concepts. for the actual code writing, you could start with just pseudocode, refer stack overflow if you got stuck + IDEs had syntax error highlighting and auto complete for years. i used to write a lot of python without ever having 'learned its syntax' per se, mostly just from using it then other things like maintaining relationships, participating in design discussions, reviewing other people's code, mentoring, setting expectations etc. many principal engineers used to not really write code at all when i worked at amazon but they were still irreplaceable because of how deeply they understood the systems and what each team was doing

Choudhury (@Choudhuryharip) reported@AmazonHelp I have performed all the steps suggested in the email and replied to them. I have updated Fire TV. Still the same problem is continuing.

ClearCart (@ClearCart_ext) reportedShipped a fix this week that stung a little. My own clone detector was flagging a real brand on Amazon India as junk, because the same listing showed up twice (once sponsored, once organic) and got read as two clones of itself. False positives are almost worse than missed junk. You're accusing a real brand of being fake. Fixed the matching and expanded regional brand coverage so that stops happening.

Robin Reynolds (@RobinvReynolds) reported. GREED IS THE ONLY GENUINE WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC... IT IS AT THE CORE OF EVERY ILL THIS WORLD SUFFERS . "I fear that in the end, this great experiment that we call 'America' is going to show that if a society prioritizes greed over love for your neighbor, eventually, *everything* will collapse." -- Julius Kim . This is exactly, PRECISELY, what I see taking place around me. I live in a condo with my Mother who I care for. It's almost like living in an apartment complex. My neighbors are ****. Creepy, nosey, selfish, snobbish, treacherous, and underhanded. I've been here 8 years now and haven't made one friend yet. And it hasn't been for lack of trying, I can tell you. But these same neighbors are always spending money: remodeling; new cars, clothes, furniture and appliances; Amazon, UPS and Fed-ex deliveries every other day... it's Christmas all year long. These people clearly don't know how to treat anyone and clearly just don't care. What I am witnessing in real time is a blatent ongoing evaporation from human beings of the finer human qualities such as: gratitude, humility, generosity, empathy, kindness and love. And since nature abhors a vacuum, low-vibrational "anti-qualities" like greed, fear, resentment, prejudice, aggression and even actual maliciousness are rushing in to fill the void. People who would never twitch a finger to help you even if your house was on fire will bust their humps to skin you up given any viable opportunity. NOW, like any general rule there are exceptions. I KNOW there are still "good people" out there. Defimnitely. But this is where it's all going. Unequivocally. And like Mr. Kim, I see no happy ending. There's nothing wrong with the world. WE are the problem. This world would be a paradise, if it wasn't for the people. All I want to do is love. I want to love all day long. I want to love every last man, woman and child. I want to BE love and feel love and give love and share love and receive love too, and that's all I ever really want to do... Given that, why is it so ******* hard? Why does this feel like Hell? .

RG| Florida-Hockey-Guy (@2Millsy) reportedJust sitting here thinking of all the fraud, chaos and problems in the world today and it’s 100% a psyop. So, I went to look on Amazon and wouldn’t you know it every book I looked for on PSYOPs was “unavailable”! Popular subject these days I suppose.

Liam Hilt (@Buf5plus0) reported@Fat_Electrician Ok but that employer's? The mom and pop pizza shop? Do they need to float another person's wages to cover for the person? I agree with what you are saying but there are levels to this. Amazon can absorb this no problem. But there are levels.

ADITYA (@aditya_kc0) reported@amazonIN terrible experience with delivery of my Marshall Killburn II speaker, high value item. First it was falsely claimed that delivery was attempted on 11/8, at 11:45 PM. Then contacted customer care three times, every time fake words of sympathy and promise of delivery next day. Then call facility stopped. Chatted with 4 customer service agents. Assurances, but nothing more. Then told item was damaged, refund initiated by agent. Nothing. Status kept showing delivery delayed. Finally I put request for refund. Now that too getting delayed saying refund will be initiated when you receive item. Item never reached me, status showing as if I have requested refund after having received item. Terrible service from @amazon . You chaps are all words & lies? @JeffBezos !
