Amazon to hire 100k warehouse and delivery workers

We notice delivery on Amazon is out to 3-4 days now (on prime) and were not sure if it was due to supply or demand. Seems like demand.

In LA, it is around 6-7 days. I placed some orders, "earliest delivery" is saturday. My other orders are still in transit...

I hope they're finding ways to help keep them safe in the process. It would be a huge benefit for people to be able to order things online, but not if the warehouses themselves become cesspools of transmission.

Safeway is also hiring in a big way.
