#3I floated around grocery stores quite a bit in the early/mid 2000s, working at several locations and various jobs. Meth was fairly common among the grocery night stockers, especially in the big stores. Often times management has some idea of this, but it was usually don’t ask, don’t tell, especially in the union stores, until the point somebody wanted a person fired.

#5> You don’t really believe the peeing in bottles thing, do you? If that were true, nobody would work for us.
> The truth is that we have over a million incredible employees around the world who are proud of what they do, and have great wages and health care from day one.
Amazon's PR (one of the best in the industry) at its finest.
Minimize/deny/ignore the issue raised, and quickly bridge to something else entirely.

#7My understanding is that this is pretty common for every courier including UPS and FedEx.
Why? Because the driver will have a set of deliveries. Once they’re finished those they’re done for the day.
In NYC at least finding a restroom and finding parking (even double parking) beat it takes valuable time. It saves time to pee in a bottle.
This just isn’t unique to Amazon is all I’m saying.

I assume some fairly high percentage of FAANG developers are on some kind of lawfully obtained prescription stimulant.

Any guesses as to whether the causality is more "night stocking is tough -- better pop some meth to up my productivity" or "night stocking seems like a good way to earn cash while I'm high on meth"?
