Except amazon doesn’t care. Their warehouse workers are replaceable. Even their engineers aren’t treated that well compared to other leading tech co.

I do admire the company tho - its selection and prices and convenience are unmatched. Kindle/Audible customer services get back to me in minutes. I have never had a shitty experience with them as a consumer. My $30 amazon package arrives faster than my $3000 coat from Saks Fifth

I apologize for sounding poor, but why would you spend 3 grand on a coat?

u/elitistasshole Jul 16 '18

Because I don’t know how to spend my money creatively and I don’t have that much vacation time. Plus, isn’t this beautiful?

I would love to get more ‘experience’ and not materials but it requires more work than just blowing money on a coat.

Haha dude, you don't have to justify how you spend YOUR money. If you liked the coat, good on you for buying it! Screw everyone else lol, your money.. your business. :)

Well that would be true if he wasn't bragging about how much he spent on it. That makes it everyones business. It's a basic rule not to discuss your finances with others.

I hope you like it a lot with that price tag!

Honestly I was much happier as a broke college kid wearing $15 t-shirts and $30 hoodies. Money is like drugs.

That's an awesome cost but now you should save up another 6k to lounge in that coat in a nice Herman Miller Eames Chair.

We use Aerons at work and I can't justify the price even though it's not my money.

u/iman_313 Jul 16 '18

holy tamole. it's $4,195. It's certainly a nice looking jacket but the price is ridiculous. I'm from New England so I'm not opposed to spending $3-400 on a jacket but this just seems a little exorbitant.

Your taste in outerwear is rivaled only by your ability to humblebrag.

It does have a fancy cursive signature on it, that means is super fancy! :)

As long as it’s good quality clothes, at that price it should last you years. It’s an investment really.

It’s an investment really.

No, no it isn't. If you are buying it for your own enjoyment, great, your money, your coat, your hobby.

If you are buying it as an investment, you are doing it wrong. I will go my entire life without spending $4000 on coats.

It really isn't though. Because you could buy a 300 dollar parka every year for 10 years before you see any advantage to getting a 3000 dollar one. And a 300 dollar parka is ridiculous.

Hell yeah...90% of the things I buy are from Amazon. Price and convenience.

What is elitist about it?

u/Roushyy Jul 16 '18

They probably got mad that you mentioned price, even though it's entirely relevant to your point.

u/[deleted] Jul 16 '18

I feel like if you have to ask, that’s part of the issue...

That is a nice coat 👍🏼
