TIL that if you search "thank my driver" on the Amazon app, you can give your most recent Amazon driver a $5 tip at no cost to you. This is a limited time promotion.
This worked as of 21:30 Eastern time on 6 December 2024.
Amazon drivers (the ones in budget or Amazon cans, not flex in personal cars) do okish. I just quit working for a third party company Amazon uses to shield them from liability and unions because it's miserable work but the pay was $22.50 which isn't too bad. The workload is crazy, it's all rush rush rush, and they don't care about you at all though so fuck them and Amazon. The drivers would appreciate the tip, they're generally hardworking and decent people.
My friend delivered for Amazon for awhile and he had a regular delivery of 50 pounds of dog food that he had to carry up several flights of stairs. I was thinking about him, and all the times in my life when an unexpected fiver would have been useful, so I'm glad you commented.
