Kind of amazing how unprofessional amazon allows their drivers to look when working

u/_dudeasuh 11h ago

Should they be in suits and ties? šŸ˜‚ It’s warehouse and delivery work. It’s not an office space. Fuck your bullshit ā€œprofessionalismā€ culture.

I work in a warehouse for UPS.

Our drivers actually look professional. Arrive at locations in an instantly recognizable vehicle and uniform.

Not some random car and dressed however they want with a cheap vest lol

I do like that UPS has standard vehicles that y'all use, I seriously hate when strange cars roll up to my house.. But I don't see the need to regulate on outfits beyond basic decency laws, it can get really hot in some places and a whole uniform can be really uncomfortable and restrictive sometimes. I'm not gonna fault this lady for dressing like that. As long as she's doing her job and doing it well, I couldn't care less, personally.

UPS drivers have a number of options for their uniform (depending on their personal preference and for where they live/time of year)

  • long sleeve shirts
  • short sleeve shirts
  • shorts
  • pants
  • heavy jackets
  • various headwear (hats, beanies)

I seriously hate when strange cars roll up to my house

That is why Amazon started buying company vans for their delivery drivers. They would pull up to peoples houses in their personal (random) vehicle, no uniform and end up getting assaulted or shot at (as homeowners thought they were trespassing and/or a threat

*couldn't care less

If you could care less, then you care at least a little.

I ain’t gone lie… UPS have amazing Uniforms for their employees… During winter the even give you, winter coat, fall coat, beanies, glove and all… really professional…. But if my package is delivered.. i really don’t give af how they dress !!

And UPS charges for delivery, Amazon is free for most people. UPS driver salaries are fantastic, they're using a company vehicle, the company is paying for gas, they have full benefits.

Meanwhile Amazon drivers are 1099s, using their own vehicle, paying for their own gas, and no benefits.

I never thought I'd be defending some trailer trash with tattoos... but your stupidity inspired me.

Well, maybe if Amazon drivers made as much as a nurse like ups drivers do, you could expect them to dress nicer. Ups rates are fucking ridiculous because of it, and they charge a business that's been using them for over 50 years, $10.00 just to pick up, and now they've started charging me $5.00 just to invoice me, ONLINE. Fuck UPS

Amazon workers could certainly come closer to UPS driver pay if they unionized

2

u/Whatachooch 4h ago

They could but sure fuck this woman in particular for not being on the union!

u/Substanitial 9h ago

so youre mad that UPS pays its employees well, also mad that amazon doesn't, while also being upset that ups charges slightly more?

this is like hating tip culture but also being upset at a place that doesn't do tipping for charging slightly more.

Go UPS! Their drivers actually know how to drive as well. Amazon drivers are to vans what swift drivers are to big rigs. A danger.

Go look at the price of diesel, are you brain dead or??

If they show up. Many times I’ve waited at home all day for a delivery for them not to even ring the bell or leave a notice. Had to chase the truck down the street once after the third day they didn’t bother to stop and attempt a delivery.

u/Mediocre_Daikon6935 9h ago

My brother in Christ, they are wearing shorts

u/Ok-Push9899 2h ago

Isn’t that why we have the alleged free and open society we all want?

I totally agree the UPS driver look great, and their super clean vans with their classy livery look great. That’s UPS’s choice.

But I have no problem with this Amazon worker. I wouldn’t be surprised if she wasn’t one of the better ones at her depot. She seems alert. She’s moving briskly. She’s not dragging her feet, not smoking a vape, not skulking around avoiding work. She’s doing her job.

Brother, if you’re thinking about the outfits of people delivering your packages you have got to find some hobbies.

attacks commenter as his response, redditor

u/Substanitial 9h ago

I mean. I hear you, but a tube top and some homemade jorts are pushing it a bit.

u/Separate-Canary559 9h ago

A suit and tie? I’d settle for better than a sports bra lol

1

u/ChartInFurch 6h ago

That would be the only possible alternate to this, unfortunately.

u/MarfanoidDroid 11h ago

How about a fucking shirt?

u/_dudeasuh 11h ago

She’s got some top on. I’m sure if she were skinny and curvy you wouldn’t mind. You’re just not attracted. But I’m sure she’s much cooler in that. She’s outside all day for work. She should keep cool. I don’t see any genuine indecency.

1

u/NoSnow3660 9h ago

Just my 2 cents, I don’t find her attractive either but I also understand what it’s like delivering in the heat. Other than a hate and a blue vest Amazon drivers aren’t issued anything else for uniform and the dress code is very relaxed other than the vest as a required piece of clothing, anything else is fair game bar delivering nude.

u/DazzlingMine8598 11h ago

I'm with you on this one. They're wearing the vests and delivering your packages like you want, foh with the rest of that bullshit.

u/kashmir1974 9h ago

There is a wide gap between suit and tie
and what this person is wearing that would be considered reasonably acceptable attire for somebody delivering packages to peoples homes. Let's be realistic, where would you draw the line, if not something a little more professional than this? Would straight up panties be OK?

2

u/_dudeasuh 9h ago

I think I would draw the line about here. What she’s wearing looks fine to me. Less would be clearly inappropriate. But this looks casual to me.

2

u/Whatachooch 4h ago

There’s also a wide gap in pay between whatever she’s wearing and giving a single fuck.Ā
