The Feds are suing Amazon for alleged "deceptive consumer practices". The FTC action claims that Amazon "tricked" customers into signing up for "Amazon Prime" and then made it difficult for them to cancel.

Amazon and other corporations being difficult and deceptive? This is new information? Does this mean there will be more of this coming for other "giants of commerce"? One would think considering how common this is.

Amazon is known to OutOfExile_IDR for instances of ableism and harrasment by customer service, logistics and, even at the corporate level. "Difficulty" and "deception" has always been a given. Despite the number of interactions in my personal "Amazon experience", I have never been a member nor, have I ever purchased anything from that entity.

#CVS was deceptive. Rather, #CVS is deceptive in their $ commitment to #diabetes- what they say versus what they do.

Also, shoplifting isn’t up. They tell us it is to justify price gauging, no?
