The retail giant has reportedly started monitoring delivery drivers who sing along to the radio claiming it’s a cause of distracted driving

Amazon trying to cover their ass?

Updated Wednesday, September 4, 2024 5:10 p.m. EST - Amazon reached out to deny the reports of a crack down on singing along with the radio in trucks and provided this PR video clip as evidence. A PR spokesperson told Jalopnik: “This post is completely inaccurate. Amazon has never issued guidance or communications to Delivery Service Partners that prohibits singing in the vehicle.”

      And they are low on options, because people keep buying from these shit companies.

      I have never bought anything from Amazon.

      It’s not even employment, I mean buying from these companies. Why…it’s not even convenient anymore having to return most of the crap or throw it out because of how utterly cheap it is.

      Collectively, humans are fucking stupid and can’t do the only thing to kill these companies. Stop giving them money. But everyone is great at going online and bitching about em.

      I refuse to buy online. Unless I can see the thing BEFORE buying, I won’t buy it. I’ve literally broken stuff in stores to test how I’m going to be fucked. Ripped soles off shoes, bent steel frying pans. I’m sick of everything that this world is turning into…the only thing that will have SOME form of quality is our jail cells for when we try to take everything back.

        People also order on temu. Amazon is oftentimes the same but with one day delivery. And Amazon does not just sell trash, since you can still get almost anything. An iPhone from Amazon is the same as an iPhone directly from Apple or from some smaller shop. And it might be cheaper, additional to the quick delivery. Amazon can still be incredibly convenient. If I know I need something important tomorrow and there’s no local store, Amazon it is. But of course, if I just want a thing without hurry, there are usually some better/cheaper options.

        Also, you sound like a nightmare customer. Do you also break stuff in small privately owned shops or do you at least stick to big corporate stores?

          I put everything through stress, yes. I’m more prone to be tough on big box stores mostly because small mom and pop shops are stupidly hard to find anymore.

          Call me a nightmare customer all you want. Don’t bother me. I’m tired of broken garbage and having to replace everything constantly.
