Just when you think you've seen it all.
You know, I never thought about the people who run the servers in general, unfortunately, they can't work remotely. Without them, we will suffer boredom to death in our homes.
Looks like they're having issues with DNS on www.amazon.com
I wonder how many millions of revenue Amazon loses per minute of downtime, specifically the revenue that won't come back once the website is back online.
Do you think people would go somewhere else in those few mins, find a product, add to cart, insert CC info, address ?
Here's my decision tree:

1. If it is groceries and I have multiple accounts set up already, then yes.

2. If it is something else that I want quickly and I have another account already set up somewhere else, then yes.

3. If I don't have accounts set up anywhere but Amazon, then no.

4. If I don't need it quickly, then no.
