Annoyed Amazon Worker Tells People What Not To Order, And They Aren’t Taking It Well

I order heavy items for delivery all the time. Why? Because I'm disabled. It makes my life vastly easier if my catlitter, tinned goods, and drinks can show up on my doorstep without having to be lifted in and out of my car, and carried inside on my knees with multiple trips in my wheelchair. Similar reasons apply for anyone elderly, disabled, injured or suffering from fatigue. Sounds like Amazon workers need to unionize and demand rational warehouse locations, package weight limits and such. Maybe 24packs of water should be packaged as 4 six-packs, and kept on the bottom shelf? Don't f**k with the orders BTW - Amazon will just have to replace them, so you'll get another heavy a*s order to pick, plus the first one to restock.

So, just another douchebag whining on the internet.

Ordering heavy things is the point of ordering online deliveries, I wonder what Amazon thi n ks of his complaints?

Normally, I am always on the employees' side but his point of view is so bizarre. If Amazon offers a product online, of cource, it may happen that people order it online (what a surprise!). And does he really not know that there are many people who depend on deliveries because they can not lift/carry heavy objects or because some specific veterinary pet food can not be found anywhere in the stores in their vicinity? Thankfully, here in Germany, we don't depend on Amazon and can order from other online stores.

It's literally your freaking job! And what people order is none of your business. Pick the order. Do your job. Get paid for doing so. That's your business.

I hope this idiot loses his job.

Some folk are lazy, sure. Some orders are excessive, yes. But some orders are necessary because the customer can't get out or lift the items themselves. You gotta take the good with the bad or else find another job. Don't complain; do something about it.

This guy really didn't read the room, but I wouldn't be surprised if many drivers don't have good working conditions. How about the delivery companies provide trolleys for their drivers? Or don't push them so hard? If they are delivering many heavy objects everyday, that could lead to back issues or other injuries.

Hey, you know who pays your salary? People who buy water and dog food on Amazon. I did it as a short single woman who can't carry those items myself. Signed, Quicherbichen.

Your job is literally to deliver items and you're complaining about it? Ffs *tiny violin*

I mean If I want to get my freaking water and dog food from amazon that's my damn business, just stfu pick it up and deliver it to me as you were hired for! Seriously, ppl will use social media to whine about any inconvenience in their god damn life, instead of doing something productive, like their f*****g job!

Folks, items can be delivered to your door by your nearby grocery stores, even Walmart and Target have that option. Often delivery can be scheduled for the same day if you order in the morning and the cost for delivery is around 10 bucks. Price compare, there are better options than Amazon. When I was recovering from emergency surgery getting groceries delivered let me have easy to cook meals and I was grateful to use Target when I needed loose clothing and a new computer mouse.

Hey, you want to know who pays your salary? People who order water and dog food on Amazon. Signed, Quicherbichen

They don't even deliver a lot of the heavy stuff. The USPS does....

Nah. I'm going to order what I need from wherever I want. If you don't want to deliver it & do the job you're paid to do. Get a different job.

I sincerely hope this driver is no longer employed as any type of delivery person. Some of us do not have the upper body strength or mobility or both. If you hate your job, leave. Don’t threaten to mess with someone’s order. That’s just childish and unrepentant assholery.

One of my cats has to eat specialty food not available in the supermarket, and often not in stock at the big pet stores either. How tf am I supposed to feed her if I don't order the food from Amazon??

Hey Bro, I can't lift the bag of dog food my dogs require. More than that, they have a specific food they HAVE to eat, otherwise I pay thousands in Vet bills. It HAS to be a specific food. Guess who is 1 of only 2 suppliers of this food? (I've tried Chewy. They chronically send me the wrong food, even after I call and talk to someone in person. Literally. Every. Time. Dawg.). If you hate doing the work your job asks you to do, or you believe you're above it - QUIT and FIND A NEW JOB. Newsflash: selling online and shipping to the customer is LITERALLY ALL Amazon does. THAT is the job. If you don't like working in a warehouse to ship items people buy - Don't work for a company that owns warehouse to ship items people buy. - The customers aren't the stupid entitled jerks in this story. YTA. ....get a job and stop complaining that you're employed. 🙄

The closest pet store to me is 2 1/2 hour’s drive away. The closest grocery store that sells things other than what a convenience store would sell is over 1 hour away. I am lucky, I have a car, but when I got shopping it takes an entire day, and I stock up best I can. If I can’t find what I need, or I need something and am not planning on going to the store in the coming weeks, I’ll order it on Amazon. It’s your job, suck it up or find a new job! I hope he got fired!

My closest pet store is 209km away (2 1/2 hours drive) I am fortunate enough to own a car and be able to go and get my pet food. The closest grocery store that won’t charge me an arm and a leg (here it cost me $14 CAD for a tub of ice cream, and the choices were vanilla, chocolate and Neapolitan) is 110 km away (they’ll just charge me an arm!) If I need pet food, I have to factor that in when I go shopping, those bags are big! My car is not huge, and I may have to cut out some other items from my list to get what I need. Many people don’t have a vehicle, or can’t pick up and carry all the heavy items they need, so they have to rely on someone else to help them. At least if the items are on their doorstep, or at the closest pick up location in their town, it’s a little easier. I hope this guys got (or gets) fired! He needs to find a different job!

I sincerely hope this idiot got fired.

Well, this guy's a real prize, isn't he? I've been sick for 19 months. I've left my home less than once a month during that time. I order everything on Amazon, Walmart and DoorDash. It's not how I want to live, but it's unavoidable rn. This guy needs to spend a day in my shoes, find some empathy/understanding and stop seeing the entirety of life on earth through the very limited filter of his own experience limiteexexperiences.

that douche should be canned

What a nasty little man.

Pretty sure he's not working there anymore. Problem solved.

Don't understand people BUYING water! Do you not have indoor plumbing? Are there no such things as tap water filters? Do you not own drinking glasses? Why on earth do people spend a small fortune on a case of single-use plastic bottles when there are washable glasses in your cupboards. All that plastic happens to also come with what comes almost free out of your tap. Unless you live in a 3rd world country, or are on a neglected reserve, there is no reason not to drink your tap water. And just think of all the plastic pollution we could save if people just turned on the tap.

tell people how stupid and lazy you are, by literally telling them, lol! hope he got fired, half witted boob!

I am disabled and don't go out. Apart from my food shopping, everything else comes from Amazon, from cat litter to clothes, from bedding to yes sometimes water

I think he probably has been fired by now.

Why order water, don't you have water laid on in the US? I use tap water, and a filter system.

There are 2 sides to this. As an Amazon worker in the US, his work safety is by far much worse than an Amazon worker in Europe. The safety and health issues he have to deal with, along with his coworkers. A European worker is not allowed to lift anything above 25 kilos, and then ONLY very close to his body and with a straight and aligned spine. Not so in the US. And all of you people don't even think about that. There is a reason why working a warehouse in the US is a young mans job if the items are not all lightweight stuff. Why do you think so many former warehouse workers are suffering from spine injuries or wearing down? A single lift every 3 or 4 weeks will not do permanent damage, but think 50 to a hundred times each day, and the picture is somewhat more serious and devastating. That disabled people use this way to their heavy stuff is clear. It goes without saying. But they should also know why it is a problem for the worker because they are already feeling those problems.

He is right. Time to diversify. My grocery store delivers, Target and Walmart delivers, and there's even Instacart. I don't see the point in putting more money into some billionaire's pocket, especially when he pays his employees next to nothing. Amazon employees are often underpaid and overworked. And to add insult to injury, our taxes end up covering their medical insurance and provide food stamps. It's like we're indirectly subsidizing their profits while Bezos exploit Amazon workers. It's time to support businesses that treat their employees better.
