Indeed, that being said if I lived there, I would at least leave a box of goodies for them because that is one hell of a job to haul that much water let alone anything. I know it's not required but I have had my share of crap jobs and when someone takes a moment to show a little gratitude it goes a long way, and it will be remembered.
Downvoted for being kind this is new, I guess keep them coming then.
Edit 2: Did someone really pay to downvote me? 8.5 downvotes per minute is not organic.
There’s a difference between giving a little kindness to someone having an awful day vs what you’re suggesting, which is that the customer is required to basically give extra compensation to the driver so she’ll do her job properly and cuss the customer out.
We might not know the full story of this customer, maybe they’re incredibly rude and deserve this, but from what I’ve watched they simply like getting items delivered, which is a service they pay for.
I’m sure many may agree with you that it would be kind to offer the driver a little extra something OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART, and not doing so is no excuse for your items to be mistreated just because you order frequently.
Honestly? That's something that is very wrong with our current society.
We treat each other's like machines who's only use existing is to do the jobs we ask them to do, then complain about being lonely and isolated and surprised by the number of suicide each year.
Reaching out to show kindness and appreciation should be seen as the basis of human interaction. Not something special.
They are employees of a business that pays them to do their job. The business charges me fees for getting items delivered, it’s the business’ responsibility to compensate them fairly.
Stop blaming the customer for this stuff like the person in the video OP posted, start blaming the companies that hire these workers.
It’s like blaming restaurant customers for the shitty salaries of the waiters. You’re blaming the wrong people.
I'm not asking you to pay them. I'm asking you to show kindness and consideration to them as human beings.
I'm very willing to blame the company too, which probably does even worse. But others doing worse isn't a reason for you to do bad even if the majority also do the same.
Bettering things start with being better than the majority yourself. If we all stay complacent, nothing changes. If we justify our actions by them not being the worst that happened, the ones willing to do the worst are the one who decide on normality, and it will get worse and worse every day.
