Alquin. Gee, I wonder what he looks like?
Mess with my Amazon driver and I’ll shoot you myself.
I’ve been buying from AMZ since Bezos started selling books. Get everything there, from to cat food to my great new arm sling for recently fractured wrist. We’re lucky to have an AMZ warehouse in our town, stuff delivered fast, sometimes the day I order it.
I’ve never seen a written policy but I’ve heard that I’m supposed to be unprotected in my company car.
I’m not unprotected.
RE: I’m not unprotected.
You must know Kung Fu. :)
I had a tour once of an old railway car from the days when the US Postal Service delivered mail by train. Remember being told that each postal worker on the train was armed. I don’t imagine people stole from the mail train very often.
Why not draw a bullseye on their workers backs?
???? What is wrong with these sheeple.
My self defense guru just recommended the following if you are carjacked:
FLOOR IT AND CRASH!
The airbags will deploy, the bad guy won’t be wearing a seat belt, the car will be un-drivable, the commotion will attract attention and 911 calls, and you’re not being kidnapped.
Do Amazon drivers make that much? I doubt it. I’d pack and take the chances of getting fired. Cops will appreciate it.
As a Doordash driver, I know of at least one fellow driver that says he’s packing when he delivers. I wouldn’t be surprised if others do as well.
I don’t believe being armed is sanctioned by Doordash.
AAARGHHHHH!!!!
As always, any human based endeavour is corrupted by thievery by “sinful” humans. Pretty soon Uber and Lyft will be using cars with physical dividers, cameras automatically sending video to a cloud based center in real time, armed drivers, drivers vetted for past criminal records, passengers only picked up after passing security checks, automatic GPS tracking, and their own security detail.
Amazon, and other e-”mail” order services, will have distribution (customer pickup) centers that have bulky or high ticket items. The pick up centers will be located next to supermarkets in formerly deserted malls. If the USPS wants to save money they could do the same. For what it’s worth or IMHO.
So be it.
One of my pet peeves, as well.
It is a federal felony to be armed in a Post Office facility.
Actually, the genderless pronoun is used properly in this instance. If the subject of the sentence hasn’t been identified as male or female, using “they” is grammatically correct. I found this out while having to use writing standards for term papers in college, way before wokism. Using they to identify oneself is the ridiculous usage.
Amazon Flex is a gig job. You pick where and when you want to do a delivery. Much like Roadie, a UPS gig job/app, I do not believe they are an employee of Amazon. They are 1090 workers with no bennies, etc.
LOL!
Shades of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid!
“Did you use enough dynamite, Butch?”
No thank you. I’ll keep speaking English.
If the have to use “they” it means it was a woman. However, even when they know it’s a man today, the new PC rules demand that the writer use “they.” If seen it used when a person was actually identified with a man’s name. That’s why I am alway suspicious of any use of “they.”
