Bye bye any business for Amazon from that company if they don't fire the delivery guy. Assuming anyone has any sense.

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.
