Amazon driver caught on video pooping in front of home

They have been acting weird lately with my deliveries and I've so far gotten my money back on items claimed to have been delivered when they weren't.. or receiving parcels that were empty!
But...
Amazon drivers forced to deliver 200 parcels a day with no time for toilet breaks while earning less than minimum wage

Sigh. If anything, their in-house Amazon Prime delivery drivers should be treated better in every conceivable fashion than standard parcel drivers.
Why? They did it to save money, and already have a reputation for treating people like shit from warehouse through to corporate.
This like getting mad at apple cause Foxconn installed suicide nets, but not caring that Google uses foxconn too.[/QUOTE]
Ha, this just happened to me last week. Last Sunday one of their contract drivers delivered one of those yellow bubble mailers at 10pm. Luckily I got notified on my phone, went to get it and it was empty. They delivered an empty yellow mailer next to my door.
When they're treated like shit and paid like shit, you get shit.
I'd be happy to have a job at all, to be honest. If they're mad at Amazon, they should shit in their lawn, not some random customer.
So you would be happy getting worked like a slave and not getting paid a liveage wage ?
You seem like a fun person. Have you ever had a (shit) job before?
I mean is it really that big of a deal? I do not think it was intended towards this home owner it just happened to be where it happened. You talk to the driver and say lets not do that again but I am sure there is a reason she had to do that. Its just a shit... the supervisor came out and did what they could and you had to wash it away. So take the free gift card, have a laugh and lets move on.
Unless this driver has a pattern of this behavior I would consider it an emergency situation. I know I have been in a situation where if I was not able to find a toilet I dont know what I would do. Again.. if this was a customer who complained in the past and this was retaliation for some reason then my opinion changes. Otherwise.. lets giggle and move on.

A lot of assumptions built into this response. Can you support them? If you can provide evidence, I'll agree with you.
When you order a package and a parcel driver shits on your porch, that's the driver taking their issues with their employer, and punishing the customer.
Can't believe I have to explain this
I said this in the thread about Amazon letting themselves into your home to deliver packages and I'll say it again, they will use your toilet and stink up your house. This just confirms it.
It was not on a porch, it was in the street in front of the house.
Question, if your in a must poop situation, are you pooping on the ground or are you pooping your pants. Keep in mind you are on the job and can't afford to go home for the day.
In this hypothetical situation I would A) shit in a bag in the car, or B) shit around a corner in a more private place than IN FRONT OF THE DELIVERY HOUSE.
hell, even the neighbors house would have been more chill.
Or a bathroom?
Did you even watch the video ? Or read the OP
Driver shit in the street at the end of the driveway not the porch
They're just independent contractors. Most of mine packages just come from people in their personal cars.
But yes, it's Amazon finding ways to cut corners and save money on shipping costs as it's cheaper than using USPS/UPS/FedEx/DHL etc. and cheaper than buying and maintaining their own feel to delivery vehicles and hiring full time drivers.
What if you had no bag and it was coming out right then and there.....
Im only saying this because we simply do not know the circumstances. To just assume there were better options at the moment is kinda silly. For all we know, that was the person's very best option at that moment of time.
Except these people have zero time for breaks to drink your milk and have a luxurious shit on an actual toilet.
I worked a contract job that had a tight monitored schedule where I couldn't spare time to eat all day and had to hold in shits too.
You know well in advance when you're about to shit. It's not just "oh dang I must run to a bathroom in the next 2 minutes" it's "I just ate 4 beefy cheese and rice burritos, I'll probably have to shit in the next hour or so"
Unless this driver has a condition, this is completely over the line and they should be punished for it.
