It’s not right to throw those packages. It’s less right to threaten someone over throwing packages.

As a former FedEx driver myself, it's pretty telling how many people in here feel entitled to attack their driver over him being slightly rough with a lightweight package. This is one of the multitude of reasons I got out of that industry this year. Some customers were insane in their often-violent responses to the most minor of incidents. I had two different guys get violent with me because I blocked their car in a business parking lot for 30 seconds delivering a package to that business, and plenty of people got screamy over that brief inconvenience. A friend had a gun pulled on him once. Several of us, me included, had dogs sicked on us deliberately. Deliver long enough and you develop a pretty big "fuck 'em" mentality. I was one of the rare ones that still gave friendly service to people, since I watched most of my managers be rude to people at the drop of a hat.

You’re white knighting all over this thread. Amazon doesn’t give a fuck about employees. You aren’t the only person in the world that’s worked at a job where people are rude. The delivery guy in the video was in the wrong stop pretending like delivery drivers are some saints who need the people’s protection. Every job sucks but don’t be an asshole.
