> just use Monero

The on-ramp to "just use Monero" isn't that simple for over 99% of users I'm guessing. Also, if they have your IP address logged, does it even matter how you paid?

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't mean to imply that.

I am not sure it is about "anti-vax" folks so much in this case. Many are wary of getting a vaccine with < year of testing, not to mention relatively new technology (mRNA). That isn't entirely unreasonable, though I did end up getting the Moderna shot.

> But when you say you are going to resign at a future date, especially when you say you are going to resign at a future date only if certain conditions occur but will not resign if they don't... then you haven't resigned yet

Maybe if you want to play semantics, sure. In the eyes of the employer though, you have effectively resigned.

Sorry, I was replying to the first sentence.

This is completely untrue, at least with 'at will' employments. Once you resign, you quit.

Working for any additional length of time after that often occurs if it is in both parties best interests. If it isn't though, the relationship is usually terminated immediately after resignation.

Giving ultimatums and threatening to quit generally isn't a good way to remain employed with any company.

> She offered to resign on a particular schedule

It is not out of the ordinary at all for companies to walk people out on the day of resignation. The company is not required or even expected to abide by whatever schedule is presented to them.

She gave her employer an ultimatum, threatening to quit if she didn't get her way. They called her bluff. I don't see how that is the same as being fired.

At that point she was on her way out, one way or another; most employers would rather not work with people like this.

As long as Amazon continues to co-mingle products, that wouldn't matter.

Agreed. I assume they have ran the numbers and decided that the small number of customers they lose (like myself) don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

I have started buying most products directly from manufacturer's websites or in physical stores now. The amount of fake products on Amazon is appalling, I wonder why they don't put effort into stopping this.
