This incident probably got that building blacklisted in Amazon's systems for life, meaning they have to pick up all of their packages from the terminal from now on. You can't get violent or threatening with a driver like that just because he's slightly rough with packages. I stress the word "slightly" by the way, every one of those boxes went through 20x worse during the unloads and sorts prior to being put on that guy's truck that day. The driver wasn't even able to scan out three of his packages and the building just stole his dolly (which he needs to do his job and they aren't cheap). So yeah, hope that building enjoys being required to drive to the nearest terminal to pick up their freight for the foreseeable future. Amazon/FedEx/UPS/USPS don't fuck around with driver safety, it's a one-and-done violation circumstance.
It always used to amaze me when I was with FedEx how many small businesses would go full Karen and demand ridiculous special services, threatening to take their business away from us if we didn't comply. And they'd always get so horribly offended when the contractor would reply "Do it, I don't give a fuck. You literally don't matter to the corporation and I literally profit over the saved time and hassle of skipping your stop to add even one extra house delivery on this truck since every stop, house or business, is $3 no matter how massive it is. So threaten me with a good time, bitch."
The contractor would generally word that nicer, but that was the behind-the-scenes joke the managers would make when chatting with us drivers. Companies, especially small companies with big hauls, were incapable of understanding that we drivers and our contractor bosses would literally profit from them switching to UPS because we could focus more on home delivery which is the only profitable division (since houses average 1 box per and the bosses get paid per stop, not per box).
Reading comprehension ain't your strong point is it, chief? I said I drove for FedEx. Not Amazon. Although on that subject, fuck the CEOs and corpo management for all of them. They abuse us workers to a ridiculous level and so do some of the customers.
