People complain about Amazon and any other company because of pre-existing biases that need to be justified.

For that reason, I think I kind of had to compare Amazon to a company agreed to be far better than average to their employees. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
No, it's my fault. My apologies. I was just kind of responding through you to those who compared Amazon to Costco. Costco and Winco (an up and coming grocery chain, http://time.com/4701/walmarts-worst-nightmare/) are exceptions to the corporate "ideal" of pushing wages down to the lowest possible extent. They prove that corporations can be both successful and treat their employees well.
