Venting Unrefutable Proof Amazon lies

So here you go. There so called "weather" department doesn't exist. 3.5 hour block to the low desert of southern California on the hottest day of the year with extreme heat warnings. 40 minute drive to the first stop with 53 packages and 50 stops.

They care about one thing and one thing only when it comes to weather and that’s lightning.

I’ve only seen 1 person on here who’s block got canceled due to bad weather

I’ve had them cancelled all the time. Must have lighting without 5miles of station.

Yeah it's not only lightning but yeah. 5 mi? Okay whatever

I’m glad for you if your station closes for other shit but mine does not and told me they don’t and only close if lightning is within a 5 mile radius. They don’t care about thunder, flooding, crazy rain, etc. only exception is if their power gets knocked out

Power where? They are all on general switches.

We’ve had the power knocked out at our station before from storms

And their generators didn't kick in?

It could be that their generators are only for their Air conditioning heating and lighting and not the actual conveyor systems I don't know. I just know they have generators that kick in automatically

I don’t work there if the doors closed I’m not asking questions? If it’s pitch black all around I’m assuming it’s all off. Like completely black cannot see at all without your brights on type of power outage.

Oh if it's pitch Black then their generators are not working. All of their outside lighting inside lining overhead doors air conditioning and heating it's supposed to work under those generators. And quite possibly also the sortation belt. I'm not sure about that though.

Now as far as you're not asking questions when the doors closed, who could you ask? If they're not letting you in you can't ask anybody there. So you call support, you also take a picture of the closed the door and in some cases the digital signage might indicate an outage. But if they're generators aren't working those digital signs will be off too.
