So they enter a secure facility with their already vetted credentials and CCTV in operation to try out stolen credit cards? Or they could do those same validation tests at home on a dodgy website.

Do you think using stolen credit cards is a big problem in Amazon warehouses, because what I think is this isn't a bug but a feature to detect who is working and who is slacking.

Amazon didn’t make the coffee machine.

That’s like I saying I approved of my Samsung fridge shitting the bed. No, Samsung did that. I just bought it.

From parent comment

> uses a camera for people to purchase coffee with a card, she said. But Carroll added that Amazon offers the coffee to employees free of charge and has no practical use for the camera.

I'm not sure why you quoted that because there is a camera in operation and whether Amazon 'has a practical' purpose for it or not is irrelevant here.

Would be like finding a camera in a girls locker room and then saying 'we have no need for that'. Like what the hell is doing there is the real question and I suspect it does have a practical purpose for Amazon.
