Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Summary:
Amazon's returns process is a complete dumpster fire - they'll slap a "new" sticker on your used crap and put it right back up for sale. Case in point: a small biz got screwed when Amazon resold their poopy swim diaper as brand new, tanking their company. Thankfully, Amazon took immediate action (JK). At least sellers now at least have the option to opt-out of returns being sold as new.
One comment from the article:
Because others marked the review as helpful, Amazon increased its visibility on the product page, just as the Barons "were executing a plan to triple their annual sales to $3 million in 2020"
The fact that any returned diaper is resold is fucked. "Amazon should have inspected it" isn't good enough and whoever is in charge of the policy for returns of a diaper to ever be resold can screw off.
If it's Amazon, and Amazon is responsible for that diaper being shipped back out, that review should definitely be removed.
But regardless, "we were just about to triple our sales" is best case complete nonsense, and worst case nonsense stacked with scalping essential goods during a pandemic.
Used - Like New
To be fair, if the package is still unopened then a return can totally be resold.
I can only imagine the smell as some overworked, underpaid Amazon warehouse person stuffs that diaper in.
“Not the worst smell, so whatever”
Maybe the poop stains were from an Amazon warehouse employee who wasn't allowed to leave the line 🤷🏻♂️

Could have just ended the sentence there and it would still work both figuratively and literally. 🤣
Yo what the fuck man ?
🍵 profits
Even this headline makes it sound like the family's fault lmao.
Yeah the article takes its time making it clear who is at fault as well
Cursed headline
