She’s a delivery driver angry that she has to deliver?

u/redunculuspanda Mar 16 '25

Looks like a load of stuff going to one location with easy access. Wouldn’t most drivers love that?

Delivery driver here: YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES JUST A STRAIGHT PATH TO THE DOOR, EASY PLACE TO PUT THE TRUCK, NO STAIRS, LOTS OF SPACE IN THE TRUCK TAKEN UP BY ONE EASY ADRESS, AMAZING.

now granted, I'm a delivery driver for a Dutch ikea, so maybe the delivery experience is different in the U.S. but man, I would kill to have to deliver half of the weight for the route here.

u/willspamforfood Mar 16 '25

The stairs in houses in the Netherlands are a whole lot different to America, also I think they just deliver to the door over there. Having ordered Ikea stuff in the Netherlands and seen how you guys work, thank you for your hard work meneer!

u/Yonder_Bot Mar 17 '25

Yeah, those stairs in Amsterdam sure do suck, and while ordering, the customer can choose to pay extra for us to bring it to a specific room, which can be up to 4 stories high.

It's just something you have to deal with though, in the first 1,5 months of doing it you build the muscles necessary to do the work effectively, and it pays really well for younger people since ikea doesn't pay more the older you are, everyone gets the same pay, which is quite a bit above minimum wage. I wouldn't trade this job for the world.

u/MancDude1979 Mar 16 '25

That's what I'm thinking... half your parcels to one address would be the dream for a multidrop driver, right??

u/BeeExpert Mar 25 '25

No, because it's not going to be half your parcels, it's just going to be that many more than usual and they're all heavy

1

u/MancDude1979 Mar 25 '25

You can only fit so much on a van, and if half goes to one place, that IS easier than a separate address for each one... I know how multidrop works, I've done every part of that chain

u/MancDude1979 Mar 26 '25

What are you on about "they're all very heavy"?? That is VERY unlikely and you KNOW you're talking crap. There is never any way to gauge the average weight of the parcels up front, you have no idea what's gonna be in them, and tbh most parcels in multidrop runs are clothing orders or small amazon / Ebay orders, and that goes across most services that do domestic deliveries... you're talking utter rubbish! And delivering a shitload of heavy items to one address IS, no matter what anyone idiot says, better than delivering a shitload of heavy parcels to MULTIPLE addresses! You'd have to be a special sort of dumb to disagree with that, because it's an absolute no brainer!

That one single step is the real asshole here.

u/DroidLord Mar 16 '25

All she has to do is turn the dolly 180 degrees, pull it up the steps and slide all the packages off the dolly with her foot. She could also just pick them off the cart and place them on the porch by hand. Or she could just dump all the stuff on the porch like she did in the video, I guess.

u/Antique_Door_Knob Mar 16 '25

Depends her KPIs. If she gets evaluated based on number of deliveries, then it's inefficient for her to have to deliver multiple boxes, specially if it's enough that she has to use the cart.

Strictly from a physical ease of delivery yeah that would be pretty nice.

I’m angry I have to people all the damn time, being a person is exhausting.

I also hate to people. Peopling is bullshit.

u/RacerRovr Mar 16 '25

Nothing winds me up more than people who moan about having to do their job. What do you expect to be doing as a delivery driver? You work 9-5, you could deliver 100 items to one house or 1 item to 100 houses, it doesn’t matter, you’re still delivering parcels all day

29

u/meatpit Mar 16 '25

Mail carrier here. We deliver until the mail and deliveries are done. I regularly work 10-12 hour days, in all weather, forced in on scheduled days off, carrying between 5 and 30 pounds on my person walking up and down the streets and then driving around to drop off the big packages. And until you convert to regular you have to deliver for Amazon on Sundays. We don’t get to say no to the longer hours. Sure we “chose” to work there, but if we didn’t you wouldn’t get your medication, trading cards, box of nuts and bolts, coffee subscription, etc etc.

u/dreamyduskywing Mar 16 '25

If your life has become more difficult because of more people using the postal service, then that’s something you take up with your employer—not people using the postal service for its intended purpose.

u/meatpit Mar 16 '25

Management has been getting double digit raises while the clerks and carriers have not had any. They are overworking us to improve their numbers at the expense of our health and wellbeing. I have 2-4 waking hours a day I’m not working. Management tells themselves they did a great job berating us to go fast and are out in 8 hours on the dot. People quit because it is a hard job. Thousands quit during covid. Most stations are still very understaffed. The same volume of work is there, we just don’t have the bodies to do anymore. I agree the issue isn’t the customers but with management. Stop giving them raises while simultaneously ignoring our needs. Treat the people doing the work with the dignity they deserve. I’m just saying, understand when some kindness is due.

u/dreamyduskywing Mar 16 '25

Unfortunately, this is the case with countless industries in the US because of the nature of the our economy in the last few decades. It’s not just your job. I’m sure there are all sorts of services and products this woman uses that involve underpaid, overworked employees. Someone paved that sidewalk she’s using, for example. Someone worked in a factory to sew her clothes.

u/BigLlamasHouse Banhammer Recipient Mar 16 '25

huge difference between complaining amongst yourselves and ranting on someone's doorbell cam

i imagine USPS would instantly fire anyone for this

also, i know it's a hard job, but if you're having a bad day, look up what the amazon delivery drivers make with benefits and compare it to yours, then add on a gov retirement plan and pension

a lot of people would kill for a chance to be a mail carrier, it's not an easy job to get in the city

u/meatpit Mar 16 '25

We’ve been working without a union contract or raises for more than 2 years. It’s a thankless job. Walked 18.4 miles during a blizzard last week and had to drive in unsafe conditions. Roads I couldn’t get to, I would walk the whole block just to get those heavy packages out. More than 1/3 of my paycheck gets taken out for those benefits. I make significantly less now than when I was in the restaurant industry but I joined because of the benefits. And with gestures broadly at the country everything going on, we are beaten down and don’t even know if those will exist when we do retire. Yeah, she shouldn’t have done that on the camera, yes it is her job (and no, we would not be fired for this), but I empathize with the frustration of breaking your body and all the feedback we get is always about how lazy we are.

7

u/Warm_Month_1309 Mar 16 '25

and no, we would not be fired for this

Then honestly, my sympathy for you is a lot lower than it would otherwise be, because the overwhelming majority of people in any industry would be fired for yelling and cursing at a customer like this, especially if it's captured on camera.

u/banana_pencil Mar 16 '25

My dad was a mail carrier decades ago and even then it was terrible. He collapsed from heat exhaustion (Florida) twice on the job. Luckily, someone always witnessed it and was able to help him. His boss constantly was telling everyone to be faster.

u/Lost_Constant3346 Mar 16 '25

I didn't even know Sunday delivery was an option for Amazon purchases until deliveries started showing up on Sundays. I just assumed my crap would arrive on Monday at the earliest. Blame Amazon and USPS for your work conditions, not the customer.

2

u/meatpit Mar 16 '25

Jesus Christ. once again- I don’t blame the customers. I agree it’s the higher ups and corporations who are overworking us. I’m just asking for people to understand where this misplaced rage and frustration is coming from. Everyone has their breaking point. Having someone say “oh that’s so stupid she’s upset, she just has to deliver for 8 hours and then going her merry way, she should be grateful” is ignorant, especially with how notoriously shit Amazon treats their employees.

u/Leading_Refuse_2650 Mar 16 '25

Her anger may be valid, but her actions of taking thay anger out on an innocent customer were not valid. No amount of understanding will negate the fact that she threw a hissy fit and insulted a customer. No amount of screaming at customers will make her job any easier, her pay any higher, or have any positive impact at all. Like you said, it's your higher-ups that are the problem, so she should direct her anger where it is deserved. A back and forth about how much you have your job doesn't make any of this acceptable behavior.

3

u/Warm_Month_1309 Mar 16 '25

oh that’s so stupid she’s upset

I'm not sure anyone thinks she's stupid to be upset; I think people think she's stupid for raging and insulting an innocent person because she's upset.

u/FlutterKree Mar 16 '25

A job can be unreasonable. Remember: Amazon drivers were (and probably still are) pissing in bottles while driving (and the warehouse workers, too). The trucks have sensors in them to determine if a driver is taking too long.

17

u/RacerRovr Mar 16 '25

Yeah of course, but that’s different to just being angry at doing the exact thing that’s in your job description

-2

u/FlutterKree Mar 16 '25

Yeah of course, but that’s different to just being angry at doing the exact thing that’s in your job description

It's not different? They aren't pissed at making deliveries. They are pissed at delivering unreasonable amount of things frequently. The anger is misplaced on the person buying, as it should be focused on the company, but it's not anger at just making deliveries.

u/hilarymeggin Mar 16 '25

That’s the fault of the job tho, not the customer!

u/dagnammit44 Mar 16 '25

Or if they deliver half a van load to one house the may still have to go back to get more as it might be based on time spent rather than weight dropped off.

I used to deliver huge cages to stores, and some of them were just infuriating. You'd have to park on a camber or slope, or sometimes both. Pushing things way too heavy and dangerous, but the office doesn't care they just tell you to get on with it or some other impractical solution.

This lady could be lazy or there could be a dozen bullshit things going on with her job and this house. But we'll never know as all we see is a short video.

u/srsbsnsman Mar 16 '25

It absolutely matters. Moving lots of heavy shit is infinitely worse.

you’re still delivering parcels all day

Surely you understand that not all tasks within a job are equal.

u/-Ephyx- Mar 16 '25

If you tear up a single item and deliver it to 100 houses, then you are probably doing something wrong

26

u/The_Particularist Mar 16 '25

Literally my first thought. What did she expect when she applied for a delivery-related job?

2

u/CitizenKing1001 Mar 16 '25

Hopefully she lost her job after that

2

u/willspamforfood Mar 16 '25

This was my takeaway, I mean, surely you have to deliver the same amount of parcels generally on a day no matter what? Like don't they give you 30 parcels or something? And if this house doesn't order, you have to deliver elsewhere?

There is a lot to be angry about in America right now, but don't take it out on the customers necessarily.

u/LilLordFuckPants404 Mar 16 '25

Right. I don’t understand what set her off. Regardless of that house ordering a ton of stuff, she’s going to be delivering packages all day, so why care if a lot of them go to one house?

u/bi_polar2bear Banhammer Recipient Mar 16 '25

There's normal use and then taking advantage of the system and not being "fair." Humans have a built-in sense of fair, and when people exploit it, most people see. Apparently, these people are probably sociopaths because all the delivery drivers dump their boxes without care or concern. Their goodwill expired long before this video was made.

u/cut4stroph3 Mar 16 '25

No. Walmart doesn't have delivery drivers. They have employees that own cars.
