## Dropoff

During a question and answer session at Wednesday's annual shareholder meeting, a disgruntled Amazon customer and investor made an unusual request of CEO Jeff Bezos.

The company shareholder approached the stage and tried to return an [Amazon package](<https://futurism.com/amazon-robot-box-orders>) directly to Bezos, [*Business Insider* reports](<https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-customer-tries-to-return-item-jeff-bezos-2019-5>), while complaining about four failed attempts to return the package via the standard methods.

## Prepaid Packaging

In an attempt to not derail the entire meeting, Bezos tried to move on past the unconventional return as smoothly as possible, according to *Business Insider*.

"My apologies that you had to use this unusual venue to accomplish what should have been a routine task," Bezos told the shareholder before addressing to the crowd. "Anybody else have anything they need to return?"
