Sounds like my experience making a return at an Amazon Books physical store a few years ago. It was like an airport bookstore filled with bestsellers and generic giftable items, pretty boring selection. The returns counter was slammed but there weren't many people browsing.

I suppose you worked at every Amazon location a decade ago? I think I'll trust my girlfriend on this over some rando on here.

My girlfriend worked for Amazon doing finance stuff around a decade ago. They treated their software engineers like royalty and everyone else like robots. She said they had open bars and chefs preparing gourmet meals on demand that only the tech staff could use, while she was brown bagging her lunch every day. Maybe that's common in that industry, I don't know, but hearing that made me laugh because it sounds so Amazon.

Same, never been a fan of Times New Roman.

I'm surprised to see all the hate for Calibri. I suppose it's pretty plain, but it's got a clean modern design that makes it one of the more easily readable popular fonts.
