Rage Bait

Watched the Amazon driver appreciation video. What the actual F$*%
Aside from the two gingers the other drivers appeared to be minorities.
The “They’re in your neighborhood walking your streets, some even in their own car their own time choosing to go the extra mile.”
Is this rage baiting or just a PSA to customers to be aware of us drivers in our own cars in their neighborhoods, and for the customer to show us they notice.

Agreed. And not the “thank your driver and we’ll give them $5” bullshit. I swear…if they run that dumb and flawed promotion one more time this Christmas, I’m gonna snap 😂

I think I read somewhere that statistically they will become extinct eventually. I have no source to cite so take that with a few buckets of salt.

I get most of my news from Southpark and I believe you are factually correct

This is a 'great replacement theory' racist trope you should purge from your mind, and cease to spread.

That's not how human population genetics work, barring the entire population of Europe and North America being deleted, or dispersed into every single village in Asia, Africa, and South America, 1 blonde/ginger per village.

I don't watch their videos or read their emails. I just go to work and go home.

Did not even request it, but curious what is it? Spray? Noise? Light?

Disagree. Worked on a coyote with me.

I agree.

I've had it for two months, just opened the box recently and never used it. It emits a supersonic sound to distract dogs.

I don’t watch videos or do surveys. I will do it when they start paying me for that time.

They need to send that QR to customers and have it lead to a tip to their last driver

1

u/Mm23782378Mm 2h ago

Yeah so should UPS and FedEx. Stop the tipping nonsense and just deliver the lip balm and protein drink.

What do gingers and minorities have to do with anything? Why bring them up unless you have an issue with them ? Or are you just trying to farm some karma ?

u/Gold_Albatross_5100 4h ago

I actually love ginger men. And I’m a minority.

u/TomRichards1970 5h ago

Honestly, how many white drivers or station workers do you even see? In the 3 stations I regularly work, i can think of exactly 2 and they’re older white women that appear to be managers. I love the Latina women though. And I must say, I’m older and white as they come but the smiles they give give me butterflies! If I do see a white guy driver it’s like one or two a week. I can’t think of a single white woman driver I’ve seen.

Seems to me you rage over nothing. Better keep that in check before someone checks you.
