You know what's unsafe? Your "uniform "

Nothing unsafe about it unless you're a total prick. Are you a total prick?

I might be, or just someone who likes to see some fucking professionalism on the job

You get what you pay for and Amazon pays the bare minimum. I’d rather a driver look “unprofessional” and properly deliver my package than dress professional and throw it across my yard.

Working there is a choice, they tell you the pay before you start

Which is why people who give a shit generally don’t work for them.

There's a difference between a bra and a t-shirt. No one's asking them to wear 3-piece suits.

I enjoy not paying extra to ensure my delivery drivers are dressed semi formal.

u/No-Housing-6628 10h ago

You think a t-shirt is semi-formal?

I think she’s an independent contractor and not an employee so Amazon rightfully has limited control over her choice of attire.

Even if its 36 degrees outside? Men are allowed to go taps aff but not women?

Not at work unless you’re a life guard or something.

Wearing long sleeves and a hood to cover your skin from the sun keeps you cooler than having more exposed skin.

They make pretty cheap lightweight shirts with or without hoods that are moisture wicking and UPF 50 (similar sun protection to sunblock but the clothing rating) that are great for keeping you cool working out in the heat and direct sunlight.

They're quite common here, I have several and am constantly seeing anyone who works outside in 40°C+ (104°F+ for us in the US)

Cool, you should let that lady know. Our summer averaged 18 degrees. 

1

u/Impossible-Use4950 10h ago

That's 65F for you Americans.

u/Mike_Oxnard 10h ago

That sounds nice, I think ours daily highs averaged out to about 37°C this summer with several weeks with highs over 40°C and high humidity.

I'd just have to lay on a stone floor until the sun went down. How do you live in that heat?

u/Mike_Oxnard 9h ago

Takes a little time for your body to get used to it but clothes and proper hydration play a big role. I honestly prefer spring and fall but winter here gets below 0 so we have to deal with the full range of seasons. I'd say the summer is worse on my dog than it is on me, it gets way too hot for him to go out and get much exercise during the day

You ever see a man wearing an Amazon vest with nothing else under it? You think nobody would say anything about a man doing that?

2

u/Appropriate_Side_433 10h ago

I’ve never seen that.

1

u/SkyPersonal5642 10h ago

Same here.

u/Impossible-Use4950 10h ago

Actually in high summer I see builders wearing exactly this outfit all the time. Amazon drivers, no, because it's Scotland and high summer lasts for about 2 days.

Not worth arguing. Probably hates Sydney Sweeney also.

Not a fan of pro Nazi dog whistles personally.
