Amazon Bows To Pressure To Bring Same-Day Deliveries To Poor Areas (fortune.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the Prime-numbers dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fortune: After pressure from lawmakers, Amazon is revamping its same-day delivery service in response to complaints that it failed to provide service to poor, minority neighborhoods. The retail giant said it would bring its same-day delivery service to all Zip Codes in the 27 cities where its offered, not just in the wealthier areas, according to a Bloomberg report on Friday.

    I like Fritos BBQ corn chips... The regular ones, not the shitty twists or honey BBQ ones. But Fritos stopped distributing them to the west coast areas of the USA decades ago. Yes, I could order them from Amazon, but they are marked up 300%. I think this is racist against western USA. Any SJW lawyers want to fix this for me? I want my Fritos BBQ corn chips in S Cali!
