You can't have missed the Wayfair commercial on the tube..... it shows products being delivered to families, and an actor comments on the end that the company's free delivery... is a "game changer!"
Every time I see it I think: "no, the cost of that "free" delivery is being built into the price of what you are buying. The old "there is no free lunch".
But now the company has a bigger problem, a kind of revolt by their employees, who say they will stage a walk out this afternoon as reported by CNN:
"The United States government and its contractors are responsible for the detention and mistreatment of hundreds of thousands of migrants seeking asylum in our country — we want that to end," the employees said in the letter. "We also want to be sure that Wayfair has no part in enabling, supporting, or profiting from this practice."
Wayfair management responded in a letter to employees, also obtained by CNN, saying it still plans to do business with BCFS."As a retailer, it is standard practice to fulfill orders for all customers and we believe it is our business to sell to any customer who is acting within the laws of the countries within which we operate," the Wayfair's leadership team said in the letter. "This does not indicate support for the opinions or actions of the groups or individuals who purchase from us."
