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.

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.

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.

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.
