Or Amazon can rebate them when they intentionally provide a service that is more limited to a certain set of zip codes and let consumers make that choice.

Amazon cancelled first-party delivery management because parts of DC are too dangerous.

DC Attorney big mad.

DC AG about to learn what happens when he takes on a real deep pocket organization that’s litigious about protecting their rights.


Their right to sell people a service that includes [something] and then not provide that [something]?

The last couple times we ordered pizza from Dominos, it arrived much later than they promised. Can the AG sue them for us?


Do you pay Domino's an annual subscription fee for expedited service?



What difference does that make? The promise of expedited service was built into the price of the pizza. It makes zero difference whether they charge a separate fee for expedited service or if they charge that same fee on a per pizza basis.

If you're not happy with Amazon, you could just cancel your subscription. Doesn't the AG have better things to do?

Or Amazon could stop selling a service to people and then not providing that service. I don't understand why anybody would defend Amazon for doing this (unless Amazon were paying them, for example Amazon's lawyers).

Or maybe, just maybe, they're sick of the crime and get-off-scott-free policies that seem to dominate around here, and thus empathize with Amazon, and it's drivers.

Everyone deserves a safe working environment be it Amazon delivery drivers or pizza delivery drivers.

I know a young man who got pistol whipped delivering pizza to a bad neighborhood.

No, I don't think any real person would empathize with Amazon - AMAZON - over people who paid Amazon but aren't getting what Amazon promised.

It's certainly not about the drivers, because nobody has said Amazon should be requiring its drivers to drive in the areas where Amazon isn't providing the services Amazon promised.

If you're looking for a safe working environment, don't look to Amazon. Amazon has a terrible record on safe working environments for its workers, especially at Amazon warehouses.

So you’re not happy that they are taking measures to improve workplace safety?

I would be, if they were, but they're not.

Do you always sympathize with the overdog?

We have an epidemic of teenagers committing very serious crimes and it's the AG's job to prosecute them and instead the AG is always spending its time filing frivolous lawsuits against Amazon and Facebook and Google.

If you listed the 10,000 biggest problems facing Washington D.C., tardy package deliveries from Amazon would not be on anyone's list.

Criminals who? There is nothing criminal about paying Amazon to provide services that Amazon promises to provide but decides not to provide. Are you assuming that everyone who lives in the areas where Amazon has decided not to provide those services that people paid for is a criminal?
