Ben's Lens: Let's Amazon Go Get Lunch

I thought you said "Will you try uppies" and got really confused.

Did y'all just sit down another places outside dining and use the table without getting anything?

@limond: Pretty sure they did.... Even the Pogi Boys bought coffee.

Only three kinds of Monster?! What in the flying fuck were you thinking, Bezos?!

6 bucks for a sandwich is cheap? Wtf

Jeff Bezos watches Ben's Lens confirmed.

7:55

o7 Ben

Hilarious that it totally mischarged them.

Get your revenge on Bezos by tricking the cameras into thinking you didn’t pick up any items. Or invite Rorie to lunch there and have him hand you a bunch of items. Crime Crew!!

Jeff Bezos We coming for you!

If you ask someone to hand you an item it will charge them instead of you.

The future is a nightmare.

oh no rory's manager is here. lmfao

@grim_wreeper: They also provided their own seating arrangements.

Pogi Boys -1

Ben's Lens Crew -0

Hey Jan, can I ask why this isn't uploaded to the Youtube channel?

@anthony: They mentioned they didn't want to risk a copyright strike over the music that was playing in the store.

*looks at web page*

These places aren't even open 24/7? What's the point of an evil robot convenience store if you can't wander in blitzed off your ass at 3am and get a mediocre sandwich and some dental floss?

In This Episode:

Sushi

Amazon

Jeff Bezos


This was a good addition to the site.

Don't eat things you hate, Ben.

That was fun. I would like more videos of visiting places around the office.

This was nice, more videos like this!

Chai = čaj = tea.

Not sure what you guys get when you buy "chai".

@tr0n: English is not one of the languages to get its word for tea from the Chinese chá and thus we use chai as shorthand to refer to masala chai, an Indian spiced tea. I have no problem with this, but it does result in people saying "chai tea", or literally "tea tea".

But for what it's worth, I don't know much about traditional masala chai, but I'm guessing the majority of what we drink in the U.S. is at this point extremely far removed from that.

@tr0n: To quote the Wikipedias:

Masala chai (/tʃaɪ/; literally "mixed-spice tea") is a flavoured teabeverage made by brewing black tea with a mixture of aromatic spicesand herbs. Originating in the Indian subcontinent,^[4][5][6] the beverage has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a feature in many coffee and tea houses.

Pack V Bezos make it happen.

Sushi Benzo Box.

Extremely disappointed that Jeff didn't "chai'm" in at the end.

DAMN YOU BEZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!

AND he cancelled The Tick! Ben v. Bezos 2k19 get 'em Ben

@merxworx01: Are..... Are the Pogi Boys the good guys?

Wow, Ben and Bezos got more beef than Jan's sandwich!

I wonder what happens if you fall in the store and knock some items over. Or when fruit falls off the stand.

I'm sure this is going to do wonders for the bay area's already horrific income gap!

Sorry... wait... can someone explain to me how this works again? Do you nee Amazon Prime to go to this awful nightmare store? And the cameras are the thing that charge you for the thing you picked up? Can you put stuff back??? This is truly awful.

Great episode btw.

Oh man they actually charged Ben for the item he put back! Hahaha

Ben is spilling the chai about the Amazon store!

@anthony:they say it on the video itself, "we only upload these to the site now"

SEE YA'LL IN THE STREET!

Let me just say as someone trapped in hickstown desperate for escapism, I appreciate this slice of SF life caught on tape

MORE BENS LENS! please

Jeff Bezos. Get in the ring

That's a shame. For some reason the site video player hangs a lot for me so I watch everything on Youtube. I guess I have to just download it.

7 bucks for a sandwich, how the fuck do people eat out for lunch everyday.

Its interesting how the world gets more introvert-friendly as time goes on.

The happy face of another satisfied customer.

This street.
