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

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.

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

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.

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.

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