There are actually 8 things Shaleen. You had to work with me for a year. HI! hope all is well.
@The Gig Econ Don q1q
This is why I drive for Fed Ex. When I delivery my last package I go home no matter what time I finish. If I complete my route in 2 hours I'm done for the day with full pay. Nothing beats that
Maybe for you not all fedex drivers and you had to work your way up to that when is needed drivers are definitely sent to help no matter what seniority or how many years you have been a driver & I definitely know that for a fact
@@sunnysidedown5358 Do you work for Fed Ex direct or Fed Ex contractors. It’s a difference
@@sunnysidedown5358 We only do that if it’s peak season
Ups $38.50/hr Yeet!
@@BAYBEKDL how do you work for fed ex?
I just finished training and was creeped out by the cameras- they made it clear that not only are they watching your driving habits, but they kinda publicly shame you by posting everyone’s “scores” at the end of the week and you can see how everyone did. I guess it is good that if you get in an accident they can prove it isn’t your fault, but I don’t think monitoring the cab is necessary.
as a amazon driver i don’t think loading the van is hard at all. most packages are in bags, and i can load those 15-20 bags within 5 minutes. the overflow is the hard part, but its more annoying than hard. amazon simply doesnt really deliver big and heavy packages.
I legit just quit this joke of a job. The wear and tear on my body was one factor but the main factor was the morons who are in charge of making the routes have no clue how addresses work they would route it so I’m driving in circles and back and forth to an area I was literally in already. It would tell me to deliver to a house and on the app the next stop after that I would DRIVE BY to get to the original stop they sent me to 😂
THANK YOU
I really hate that
its AI generated
IM GOING THROUGH THAT RN!!! My first day because of that and traffic I got a coach slip…. Aka A WRITEUP😮balled my eyes out.
Take it from someone who works with her ... Trust every word she says , she is awesome at her job and knows what she is talking about !! She gave me some tips when I first started , 9 months later I’m still using them 💯 good video Shayleen
You use them for your business or you work for them?
She’s good
liar
Man you just trying to hit lol
@@MrWatermelonWarrior aye let um hit 😂
Friends did this for some time. They said it sucks.
Running around like a crazy person all day non-stop...200+ packages in a shift.
Hey, thanks for sharing this video. So many hidden struggles the customer is not aware of.
You gotta call the customer ? I never received a single call from a delivery driver a day in my life 🤣
We only call customers if we can't access a building or find an address
@@iiExiiLeD that’s my point, every time I can’t get a package for some reason, they don’t call! 😂
Not a day. 😂
And rarely do customers answer their phones
@@dramirez530 The calls show up as Spam lol
Very informative queen shaleen! Glad i watched this !
Very Inspiring video it has helped me with my decision to go work for amazon thanks alot keep up the good work Darlin.
But she’s still working at Amazon so apparently the system works. All jobs have pros and cons no job is perfect ever
Bruh for real all these people in here complaining...it's a fucking job!
Very informative, thank you for the video, good job on it! Keep up the great work!
I hate apartments. Ppl never give a code if they have one. Never answer the phone. As soon as u mark it as undeliverable they call amazon bitching saying they are home this and that. Worst shit ever i swear. Always laugh at that krap at the end of the day.
Yeah I hate that. Super annoying.
Had the same experience with f@ck heads i mean customers in apartments.
Also businesses would pull the same crap.
Apartments are the absolute worst. This is also the bane of an Edible Arrangements driver.
Apartments are the worst. They expect you to go each customers apartment and deliver 30 packages in 30 different doors on different floors. Fuck that. I put that shit on the mail room.
I had to deal with that. But some finally got the Amazon hubs but even still I have to deliver inside if the package doesn't go in or the package is not for the hub.
Excellent video. I drive for FedEx Express and share many of these experiences and concerns. We have a little less intense time pressure and monitoring. We are also FedEx employees.
My only advice is to always pack your lunch and keep it light - simple protein drinks (watch for sugar levels), bananas, protein bars, plenty of cold water. This way you spend all 30 minutes for your break. And know where the best bathrooms are to refresh (office lobbies, restaurants etc.). Great footwear and socks, and a good rechargeable LED flashlight are essential.
Good luck Shaleen the Queen - I already know you are a great driver!
That is a highly stressful job! I commend u for sticking it out.🙏

Fr fr, I work for amazon delivery here in SoCal and I just can’t do it anymore, it’s mad stressful and people are so inconsiderate
Thanks for this information. I was offered a DSP position in Arizona (103+ degrees average) paying $18.50 and it’s so not worth delivering 200 packages. I decided to go with Customer service job working from home paying $17 an hour. Recruiter said I’d answer 50-70 calls per day which seemed a bit much but running around stressed in heat sounds like a nightmare. So again thanks for video I hope you find something better asap.
After working from home for almost a decade with Zon, it will mentally drain you. And there are ZERO raises.
Let’s keep going up the ladder of improvement while these people watch. You’re awesome. Stay strong. One love.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thank you. I start training next week.
Thank you for the awesome service you delivery drivers provided much respect for all delivery drivers
Thank you for what you do every day ❤
Im a dsp manager myself and this video is spot on
I worked there and everything you saying is completely right ! I didn’t do well with working for Amazon delivery driving
I currently am a DSP driver for Amazon and although these are true I don’t think it is hard at all. I guess it really does depend on the DSP you work for mine is very chill and as long as you follow the rules it is not hard at all just not meant for certain people. I don’t take my 15 min breaks I use them to drive to where I want to take my lunches. Just stay organized and have water and you’ll be alright!
Yeah it's easy, the only stuff that's hard is if you have to deliver to an area that's a pain in the ass, like downtown LA like I used to, also there's quite a few Karen's around these days which are annoying sometimes but if you don't go slow and follow driving rules then it's easy and your DSP/Amazon won't really care what you do as long as you get the work done... she makes it sound way worse than it is imo
Wait so I should take the 15 minute break right before the 30 minute? So basically just 2 breaks back to back? They don't care if you do that? Cause that's a super good idea in my opinion
@@brandonamthor I agree with Fat Broccoli. It’s an easy job, until you get to those really condensed places like in LA. In the video she makes it seem like it’s very physical but in my opinion it isn’t, the van carries everything, the phone takes all the work, all you have to do is drive and get the package from the van walk about 15 feet and drop off the package. She also makes it seem like driving is a pain, just follow the rules/laws and you won’t have an issue. Now regarding the breaks, my DSP specifically has told us that we are not allowed to take out breaks and lunches at the same time
I work at an amazon dsp facility as a warehouse worker. Induction, stow, all that good stuff. When the vans are being loaded we are all there to help if needed. Drivers normally are loaded in and then out of the building within 15 mins so it's hardly a hard job at all. When you get down to the brass tax. There isn't a job at Amazon that is hard. Load out is way less hassle than she makes it out to be. You aren't scanning in each of those 2-300 packages. You are scanning a bag that contains them.
Definitely depends. When I was in Ohio I was never forced to do a rescue but when I came back to baltimore BABY these DSP here are lazy. I hate rescues. In Ohio the managers or leads would run out and do the rescues. Now I finished early a lot so then I would definitely help them with a rescue because they were dope.
Thank you for this video. Blessings 🌷
As a former driver. Amazon needs to unionize, drivers deserve much more pay for what we have to deal with.
Thanks Shaleen!
Great video, Shaleen the Queen...
Thank you for the 7 tips/info👍😎
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
I love all the information you gave on becoming an Amazon Driver/ Delivery person! Just a word of advice when you're working on a time frame. Pray. Take your time but don't waste time. Keep moving as much as you can with what you're familiar with and slow down a bit for anything new to learn. Use a foldable wagon or cart to deliver faster. Would be nice if whoever you're working for could contact the customer in advance at least by text, so they'll know you're coming. A physical job like yours is a blessing too as long as know how to pick up and lower packages without hurting your back .
They are sending text messages automatically for your package when it’s delivered
@@kenheisner288 not if u use a website only.
I used to hate delivering to car dealerships. Every time I went nobody helped me as far as knowing were to drop off the package and I would be lost. It happened every time regardless of which one I went too. As far as flex routes I used to love just spending more time driving because that means I’m not physically jumping in and out every minute and can listen to my music and drive.
Do you listen to music on your headphones
I worked in the warehouse. Horrible. Trying to see if driving is better. Nope! Thanks for the info I just cherish my life and well-being more than this company. They treat people so badly smh.
You are right to feel uneasy about the cameras. It is most definitely not for your safety. Its way bigger than that. Its about data.
Isn't it funny how they just lowkey made skynet with all the alexas and echos across the country
@@TheTruthWholeTruthNothingButTh yeah dude and then terminator 2 popped up on Netflix and I used to love that movie but somehow we keep going towards that direction and I'm like "bruh why even watch the movie now when we go see terminators IRL in like 20 years" lmao
That is CRAZY. Smh
Facts 💯!!! Information is power and the most valuable commodity today
I knew it 4:34. Bezos' one strong eye is upon us watching, waiting
i have seen this young lady on several news channels. She is brave, smart and driven. I wish her all the best working as an Amazon DSP driver ...She is winner . God Bless
I needed this for my interview on Wednesday
I’m so glad you shared this awesome and helpful video. My God all of the monitoring. This kinda sounds like it’s going to be a stressful job. I will reconsider my decision 🤣😂🤣 Good for you girl. Seem like you’re a really good worker and know your job well 💗
I've done deliveries before and done DSP, not with Amazon yet but I can say all these things are very true. It seems Amazon is more strict on these things than previous DSP jobs i've done but yeah it can be a hassle. Best thing about it though is that nobody is down your neck 24/7 which is worth it all the way for me.
Well, the Amazon DSP I worked for for 3 months kept breathing down my neck. I hate micromanagement!
Sounds like they are on you every working second if that GPS crap is watching your every move
They don’t need to be, they got cameras 😂
@@michaelmerck7576 nah it's not as bad as she makes it out to be
Just digitally
Wonderful information,Miss Shaylene! I wish we had seen this before…today is my son’s first day. He’s having a rough time.
Keeping your son lifted up in my prayers God bless 🙏❤️💯
Thanks for the heads up
Thank you for the informative video
I usually won't retry a Package until I've delivered all other packages because I don't want to get behind. Thank you for sharing...
As a new driver, Pleeeeeease give me tips on how I can keep my body aching so bad at the end of my shift😭😭😭😭
Sorry it just gets worse
Wish I had better news
great video my friend.. keep up the great work and stay safe and healthy.
Thank you 🙏
I just came across your page. Great content. Keep up the good work. I just started for a DSP. Wish me luck😅❤
Thank you for information it really helps
Love this video! Thank you. Very informative. I’m thinking about being a delivery driver but all these questions I had were giving me anxiety and making me think twice. I love your thorough explanations.
I have an interview in two weeks and after watching loads of DSP horror stories I might just ditch it and do something else lol. I didn't know you had to load up your own truck and call customers if they weren't at home.
@@JohnS-il1dr did you take the job?
I tried Amazon flex and it was horrible compared to food delivery apps. They give you like 40 different packages and you need to load and scan them in your car. When you reach a stop its usually a maze like apartment with no parking. You need to press all kinds of codes to get in and walk around the apartment complex looking for the apt #. The packages aren't organized you just have to dig through the 40 packages they give you. When theres no parking you need to park far away back and forth just to drop off 1 package. My shift was 5-8 but I didn't finish till 11pm because of all the walking. I've never worked so hard for $80. Was a horrible experience I'm pretty traumatized by it. 😖😖😖
I had the same experience 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for this video.. 👍
Thank you for the insight! I’ve just applied and waiting for the next step.
Me too. Did u start yet?
@@loosgoos85 no. I didn’t take the job. Decided to stay in warehousing/manufacturing
@@brian.daniel how do u like it? Is it the sorting job?
Much respect thank you for your wisdom🙏
I'm really jealous of those who actually have a break. I'm 5 or 6 weeks in and have never had a break here in the UK. I get between 100 and 140 stops (Some of them grouped) with a 40 minute drive to first stop and another 40 back from my last stop. Have only just the last couple of weeks started to complete them in the time given without working too late or needing a rescue (been rescued 3 or 4 times in total for about 10-20 stops each time). I've had no breaks whatsoever and eat, drink or smoke on the move if there's a 5 minute drive between stops at any point. I enjoy the work, but can't see me ever having a half hour break lol
Good info, thanks!
Thank you you are amazing at this job god bless
One of the worst spots to be in starting a route is not having any idea where or why your loader loaded packages where he did. I worked for UPS for 10 years drove for 5 and my worst days by far it's by far we're having a loader in the morning not caring or knowing how to load the truck. That huge pain can also be a blessing when you're out there on the road. I'm thinking about starting delivery for Amazon at the moment I deliver For spark out of my car. Thank you for your videos and we'll see how my over the phone interview goes today. I can't see me working for Amazon for a long period of time though I am not naive in the sense that there are one of the most evil corporations that this planet has ever seen I'm sure the neocons and global us are good friends with the company That is helping keep people inside and construct a new way of living through their eyes. I know feel sick to my stomach thinking about working for Amazon. I don't judge anybody but myself and I can't feel good about myself for expending period of time working for a group of rich that hate humanity and there part in capturing it.
Don't UPS drivers get paid loads after a certain amount of time?
I recently got hired delivering for Amazon DSP. I felt the same way as you and didn't know if I was going to show up after my training because the training sucked. However once I actually started doing routes I found I actually enjoy the job. It is what it is every job has positives and negatives. I'm gonna try and do it for a while and save some money. 😊
Awesome video sister 👍👍❤️
Thank you for the video 😉
Thanks for the info.
I worked for Amazon in Vegas in 100+ weather which was not a fun experience and this is a physical job! My advice to anyone working this job is to tell you this isn’t really a long term job. But what made it easier was to really organize your packages from numerical order and know how to plan your itinerary throughout the day. Our routes were infested with business stops and some business closed earlier than others and were set to be delivered towards the end of the itinerary when it should be delivered first. Where I delivered the routes were not perfect and all over the place so my biggest advice is to know how organize your van and know your route. I don’t work there no more so good luck to everyone who does! Everyone drive safe and stay hydrated!
Yessir I’m about to start trm in Vegas !
Don’t you guys have AC? Lol
@@WTFBUTWHY A/C does nothing when you're constantly getting in and out the van. Not to mention to back is like an oven. The sweat is non stop... Even after wiping each stop or so. Have you never seen a delivery driver out delivering?
@@TheUKisThere Amazon drivers look perfectly cool to me. They fling little packages at the door.
They don’t even have a real dolly 😆. What kind of delivery driver is that?
@@WTFBUTWHY What area you in where they flinging packages? Also, at my job we foldable dollies and large dollies.
Apartments are a literal nightmare; nobody is home during the day 😂
Great presentation!.
Good information thanks
Some workers that have been there a while should be the ones that become managers and train new ppl. Some managers at some delivery stations (I can't speak for DSPs because I haven't driven yet.) But at least some veteran workers that see you may be struggling will actually help you out and give you pointers instead of a manager getting in your face about what you're doing wrong or comparing you to somebody else he thinks is better.
So happy amazon some what delivers there own parcels now. UPS still killing it and we dont have to deal with prime day or those houses that constantly ordering shit on amazon (still have qvc or hsn) lol
Thank you for your help
Great information
I worked at the Amazon fulfillment center for 3 years and they are the same way at the warehouse with the time too everything we did was timed . I’m not there anymore but I loved it kinda wanna go back cause I miss it ..
I did my first three days as a new driver and realized all the points she’s made…it’s so true
Noone should work through DSP noone mentioned swollen knees painful by 4 or 5hrs in you slow down due to aching knees it would take at least a month for your body to get used to it they send you to 25 miles away you do better for yourself

Great Video!
I'm thankful for your video. I have been selected for 3 different positions and frankly, I will not take any. The warehouse jobs and even the deliveries. I love Amazon as a customer, but I know now I will not become an employee.
Worked for a logistics amazon company and they expect you to be flash when delivering these packages. If you take the breaks, you’re done for, you’ll be behind. If you deliver “door to door “ like your “supposed to” you’ll get behind. Or even take the time to call customers that have no secure place to deliver packages. You’re behind. This is why so many drivers don’t deliver “correctly “ if you take the time to deliver correctly you’ll be behind.
Another thing, no warning what so ever. If you’re not up to their par, you’re fired. As they like to call it “let go”. Not salty, but this is also some things i wish i knew before trying to deliver door to door and also taking pics of the packages like you’re “supposed” to do, for amazon.
This will help someone
Damn forreal? I start this job soon after my background check completes. The cons of this job I hear sucks
Yup the fastest drivers really just cut the most corners I was trained but a driver that left the cargo door open while delivering just to save time lol
I was just about to apply but now I may reconsider. $20.50/hr is wonderful but not if I'm dead from exhaustion.
It's a joke of the job but might be OK for some who don't have good opportunities. I tried it to see what's it like and it's a joke.
Very helpful video!!!!!!!!
Love the nails that match her uniforms, such a great little touch!
The surveillance capitalism is a big problem. Hopefully things can get better for you all.
lol that lip gloss is poppin 😁
GOOD VIDEO A MUST WATCH
I took a job with Amazon.I though it would be easy delivering packages I was wrong.This is a very tough job.She's right everything is time based.It was to much work to me and little pay.I had to let it go.
Jus completed day 1 training and I might not go back tomorrow I have another job lined up but I would make more with Amazon it’s the only thing making me want to complete training and do the job
For me, having worked in a FC where cameras are literally everywhere, having cameras in the van won’t bother me at all.
Appreciate this, so do I have to be a fast driver since time is everything
So im watching videos before i start. I did all my test and now im starting my first day tomorrow on a ride along. Now after listening to her i feel better about starting. The fact that she said she doesn't like more time driving then delivery. Umm driving has to be the best part that should not be an issue. Everything i heard here make me wanna go work for them more
Pack a lunch and take breaks and lunch along the route. Most companies frown upon driving 15 mins to take a break or lunch
I worked here for 9 months.
I left because I was fatigued after those months. Plus I was burnt out and unhappy with my supervisors and their fibs about future pay. Plus no one cleaned up after themselves.
In the beginning I was fast and learned a lot about how to manage my day well.
Over time, however, I kept getting rescued more and more by my fellow drivers. They kept saying I was doing better than a lot of folks, but I sure didn’t feel like it.
I eventually put in my two weeks and my supervisors, upon hearing, said “Oh that’s too bad. You were one of our best ones” (again, I sure didn’t feel like it). Good news is that they said I have an open seat if I ever decided to return, but…..
I really don’t want to. So I’m done. This is hard work for such little pay (in my area… though I heard they bumped it up after I left 🤦♂️. It’s okay. New experiences await).
Its a big company and everyone replaceable that’s why. I’m sure you were a good worker tho it’s usually stuff like this goes unnoticed esp a job like Amazon a ton of people feel the way you do. I did when I worked the Amazon warehouses. But I start my DSP Amazon job soon I hope I don’t feel this way you feel after time goes on but it’s inevitable because that’s how I always feel in the end. For example my dish washer job you get to do so fking much and you feel under appreciated.
Also this might have to be a think about how you grew up cuz with my and my parents NOTHING is ever enough cuz I never became a damn doctor or went to a university college. Being an Asian American with immigrant parents it’s always a feeling of guilt like this. But as time went on it’s about your happiness FIRST then others. I hope you see life in a better way soon! I still do feel the way you do at times though.
@@-SLEAZY- some DSPs are way better than others. If we left our trucks trashed for the next person, we wouldn't be working there for long. Also people screw themselves by not talking breaks or running, which makes Amazon think you can deliver more than you really can, so then you are given more packages to deliver.
How much did you get paid? Did you get bonuses?
Time is definitely off the essence, unfortunately my route is always so heavy that i really can’t afford to take my 2 15 min breaks. Since i almost always run a business route, i have to be on time or even early to these places.
All she said is so true!!!! And I also wish I knew. Also if you want to loose weight is a great place to work at!!!!
She just gave 4 reasons not to work for those private contractors or Amazon. Talk about slavery is over sheesh 🙄 I can’t tell…
Those companies are easy to get into for a reason and profit by using the contractor as a shield to profit off the driver's...Ups,DHL,FedEx Express are all legit...With all the benefits...FedEx Ground, Ontrac, Amazon...Take advantage of all the driver's and break all type of labor laws...
I’m scared because I just went to an interview. I may stay at UPS…😅
@@gringa23 yea do that
@@gringa23 i be on lunch looking for new jobs. They don’t pay enough for what we have to do
Where I live the drivers don’t call or text. They drop the package and take a pic and split
I worked for a company that had face pointing cameras, let's just say production slowed down and there were lots of returns...on the end the cameras were taken out...
"Time is everything, they monitor everything, monitor your driving, etc ". OMG 😒
If you're working for a contract and not Amazon then amazon has no business monitoring you while working....sue their ass
Modernized slavery with a nice looking uniform .
Tired of working for these major cooperation that find a legal way to be corrupt.
Istg💯🙏🏾
I swear I just started a week ago they really had me call twice and then text the customer wait 5 minutes call one last time then contact driver support and then your dsp like wtf that shit kill mad time on the low😂😂
It's stray aggressive dogs for me. No nights. I prefer the hood over those houses in the hills where dogs and the front lawn are far from the street. Not to mention prejudice people.
Them apartments 😂😂😂 my way around that is when you done your route and your phones says "your voice matter" write i feel unsafe in that area. Do that for about 2 days they will put you in a new area. Do that over and over again got tired of being fucked over so i found away around it
Lmfaoo you’re a genius!! I should have did that🤣 fuckers had me on satans route for like 2 weeks!
Genius 😂😂😂
Everything she is saying is 100% true.
Cement truck drivers have cameras in cab that monitor their eyes and alerts the manager if they're looking down too much
Lol seriously??
Tbh driving vehicles that big or containing certain things they should be watched. Too many people get lax and start to speed or use their phones. Nobody has time for that from drivers who are supposed to be driving responsibly.
🤣
Maybe sunglasses?
Just started last week had 1 full day alone and going on from there. So far I think I won’t be running like I have but keep a good fast walk. The inspection for the vans are simple and’s everything is explain on the app to a point. Everything is is put in a certain spot in the warehouse where you grab your packages but when I loaded my van I would do an order with the bags then the oversized I have been kind of been putting in number order but still takes a minute to find. I also already had to run from a bad lab that came running around the house after I saw the water bowls. Lucky I got the package on the door but couldn’t get photo on the door step so my trainer helped me with that but so far I don’t like dogs. My routes are country routes so I see alot of farm dogs and what not. Driving is somewhat relaxing besides being watched 25/8. I get it though, is his dad what not. I haven’t taken any breaks or lunches because I’ve been behind the last couple days but I’m going to take them tomorrow and from now on.
Most times I don't take my breaks. The only reason I take a lunch is because the Amazon flex app locks me out.
Wow I wish mines did that you lucky fam lol
Get to work early take your break then work thru your lunch on the Paycom app.
@@mikedelgado4375 how can I work through my lunch? The app locks me out. Meaning it doesn't let me into my itenerary. I always get there early, my route though is about 45 mins away to an hour in cattle country, I'm trying to go with a other DSP that delivers near where I live or just go to another job. I'm tired of dirt roads, super annoying. I like the job, I just don't like delivering to cows, horses and cowboys, oh and the occasional goat 😂
@@Coffee_n_Fitness Are you working thru a contractor? Our contractor uses the Paycom app. So on our travel time we take the fake lunch thru the Flex app then punch out thru the Paycom app while we deliver on the Amazon Flex app during the Paycom lunch.
@@mikedelgado4375 I work for a DSP, yes it's a contractor but they provide the van, I don't use my own vehicle and my DSP also uses Paycom as well.
I’m a current driver: what I learned/whish I knew....
1: Getting a guaranteed $15 an hour was so clutch my first year, then they gave us a rAiSe to $16.50 BUTTT no more guaranteed 10 hours😡
2: PEOPLE WHO ORDER THEIR ASSES OFF EVERY DAY NEED TO PUT THEIR DOGS AWAY!!!!
3: DSP’s show hella favoritism keeping the same drivers in the easy areas while the hard workers have to stay in the bumfuck country(not the nice country areas) or a downtown area, or a college campus area.. which all 3 ARE ASSSS😡
4: I didn’t know we have to do 200 stops a damn day!! And if you have a small amount of stops, guess what, you’re in the middle of NOWHERE country areas.
5: They will expect you to deliver in the WORST thunder storms, but when your exhausted ass gets back to turn the van and totes in, if it’s still storming they’ll make you sit in the van up to 40 damn minutes bc it’s “nOt sAfE bc of lightening”
6: customers RARELY answer the damn phone to help you find their crazy ass location.
7: I never knew people would CHOOSE to live in the most ridiculous places, the van can barely drive to, and driver can’t even find!
8: when it’s fall/winter, I hope you can see in the PITCH BLACK, bc you WILL be out there tripping over shit in yards bc you can’t see ANYTHING.
9: Some people make the job so worth it by offering bottles of water in the hot as hell summer, like this summer, while OTHER rude ass customers make you want to spit on their package and drive on their lawn to mess it up bc of how rude, petty, condescending and needy they are😡🙄
This is soooooo accurate
So pretty much there’s one fix to all of this. Minimizing the amount of packages delivered. It would solve all of these issues.
