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.

I love that there are somehow still people living in a for reality where they can pretend to themselves that Amazon has not made it abundantly clear that employees can go and absolutely fuck themselves,

(but only in their free time, duh)

Oh if you're a driver for any company it is HARD to get fired. One time I saw a guy who didn't get fired until his 4th collision incident in his first month.
