Amazon Customers Were Happier 10 Years Ago, Survey Reports

Since 1994, Amazon has made a name for itself — and its founder Jeff Bezos — by prioritizing customer satisfaction, record-fast shipping times included.

But that's changed over the decades. Consumers aren't as pleased with the retail giant as they once were, according to data reported by The Wall Street Journal.

As of last year, Amazon surpassed Walmart as the world's largest retailer seller outside China, per The New York Times, bringing in more than $610 billion from June 2020 to June 2021 as demand rose during the pandemic.

But it appears Amazon hasn't been living up to its active customer base's high expectations.

WSJ shared a recent survey from investment firm Evercore ISI, which demonstrated that the number of customers who said they were "extremely" or "very satisfied" with Amazon has decreased significantly, from a peak of 88% nearly a decade ago to 79% in 2022.

Similarly, per the American Customer Satisfaction Index, which records shopper approval at more than 400 of the largest companies in the U.S., Amazon scored 78 out of 100, down from 86 out of 100 five years prior.

What's going on?

Several factors could be contributing to the decline in customer satisfaction, analysts and former employees told WSJ, including customer service issues and search-results struggles. Both problems may be compounded by Amazon's decision to open the platform to more third-party sellers and give top billing to advertisers who pay.

Although an Amazon spokesperson claimed that the company's customers are still highly satisfied, the retailer has attempted to improve the product-search process, using algorithms to create a more curated experience.

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
