Amazon Maisel Day Goes Wrong In Santa Monica
A promotion by Amazon went awry in Santa Monica on Thursday, after the Santa Monica Police had to shut down a promotion at a local Chevron for causing major traffic woes. As part of the promotion, Amazon had offered up 1959 pricing on gasoline (30 cents a gallon) to Amazon Prime members. The promotion had included deals that featured 1959 prices for food, movie tickets, hotel tickets, and other purchases to promote the original Amazon Prime series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel".
Santa Monica Police suspend an Amazon Prime promotion offering gas for 30 cents a gallon. Traffic issues are the big concern. Details coming up at 11am on ABC7. #maiselday pic.twitter.com/sJHQLcDUaK
