The Thankgiving shopping weekend may only officially extend five days, but Amazon has been preparing for the busy season - and the rest of the holiday shopping crunch - all year. By making investments into logistics and other delivery methods, as well as hiring 125,000 full and part-time workers in addition to 150,000 seasonal workers, the company is confident it can keep things in stock and get items where they need to be.

Michigan Judge Sentences Walmart Shoplifters to Wash Parking Lot Cars
A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
