Don't forget that this time of year is now ruined for this manager. But not enough to stop them from shopping on Amazon during Black Friday and contributing to those human costs.

"I boycott Prime Day, but I do shop on Amazon during Black Friday. I feel bad about it, but at the same time, I don’t think me not shopping will get Amazon to change its practices."

I also found that to be an awesome little tidbit. Just human nature I guess... "I wish it wasn't like this! But it's the most convenient so click click click!"
I deliberately do not shop anywhere on Black Friday, and avoid it as much as possible between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The whole orientation of the Christmas holiday around untempered consumerism seems obscene to me.
