Or, it could just indicate how they are using the $125 (or whatever the cost is these days - mine's on autopay) that I pay them yearly for a Prime membership. I highly doubt that Amazon is purposely operating at a loss. If the working conditions are so bad, employees would leave. There are lots of jobs in the area just begging to hire workers.

Do we need stuff that fast though? Again what costs are involved and why have we all become (me included) a society that expects things immediately? why can't we wait anymore?

Who said I expect things immediately? Just because they get here that fast does not mean that I demand that. But I am accepting and appreciative of it when it happens. Do you want me to add a note to my orders telling them to slow down the delivery because they're doing too good of a job at it and some people think this is because they're being harmful in some way?
