There's _always_ money in the banana stand. Bezos knows this.


Any idea why they're doing this? PR reasons?

The linked Consumerist article doesn't say, and I can't get past the paywall of the original wsj.com article, even using the `web` link here.

I imagine that's because the author was really just looking for an excuse to use that opening sentence. The rest was just filler.
