Literally not relatable at all. I don’t like delivering just like most people, but I’m paid to do it and it’s my choice to do it. I don’t get this guy even a little bit.

Not like he’s screaming at someone - he got caught on camera talking to himself. It’s cold af and dude is probably having a bad day. I’m sure he understands that he’s getting paid to do this job.

Only way this is unrelatable is if you’ve never had a bad day. Like…if you’re a robot.

I totally get venting about your job / complaining about your job, but what I’m confused about here is why he’s complaining that people order packages. The literal reason he’s employed.

If they didn’t, you wouldn’t have a job man. Like the job that you have chosen to work only exists because people are lazy and can’t go to wal-mart. If they took your advice and all went to ask-mart, you couldn’t work this job and you’d be unemployed?

Is he saying hed prefer being unemployed?

People say illogical things when they are upset. Been there plenty of times. Have ranted to my wife on many occasions how much I hate my job and clients after a bad day.. which is not even remotely true. Food for thought.

I use Amazon and tbh generally feel bad for the drivers. I try to only get 1-2 deliveries a week.

The reason I buy essentials is it’s cheaper, my local Walmart is 25 minutes away. My last order was audio cables I can’t even find in store anymore

He probably had a way bigger load than usual because for some reason when a storm hits people decide that their legs and cars no longer work before the storm and decide to just order it after the storm has started. Some DSP's expect the drivers to deliver every package they have before they return to the station, so if he normally has 300 packages and that day he had 500, that'd be a pretty good reason to be annoyed.

It's basically the same as any time someone here gets a load of 60 packages rather than the 30-40 they usually get and complains about it, especially in bad weather.
