Agreed.

Try to get treatment from any Dr, hospital, urgent care, ect. without granting them the right to share with "third parties" that assist them in a whole slew of things.

Amazon could build on the bottle deposit model from the past.

1. Similar to CVS's collapsible boxes, Amazon ships packages in various sized collapsible boxes.
2. Customers that accept a shipment in these boxes get a discount, or incentive for using these boxes
3. Charge a deposit for using the boxes
4. Add a return station to the automated lockers that lets anyone returning a collapsed box recover the deposit.
