I think it's extremely invasive that amazon is telling me this
even the name is too much imo, when i delivered pizza some places had their system like this, i don't like strangers knowing that. it's too personal.
the picture is really, really too far. only the most utter HOA boomer could even potentially spin needing to know that. and you can of course imagine the issues with it.
You're viewing a single thread.
It could also be that Amazon is like, “hey, don’t shoot this person. They’re delivering your shit.”
In what kind of backward and lawless war zone does one have to live to require telling people not to shoot at other people?
America.
America.
Just scrolling lemmy, I've read at least two cases this week of people either opening fire on a pizza delivery driver for pulling into the wrong driveway, or forcing an uber driver to the ground at rifle point for dropping off the gun owners daughter.
Okay, but how is that alleviated by showing the name and picture to someone else?
The media has pumped us full of terror. The gun thing is a perfect example, but comments on that aren't welcome around here. I'll just say, the danger is nothing like most imagine.
Went to pick up a kayak from FB Marketplace, got the wrong house. Lady wouldn't answer at first, and that's with a German Shepard barking at me though the door and a Ring doorbell looking at me. When she finally came, she wouldn't open the glass, talked to me through the door.
For context, this is in the bougie suburb and I'm a well-dressed, middle-aged white guy. And I'm small. Hardly a scary man for the time and place.
On Nextdoor.com I see 1,000 idiot posts.
"Did you see the strange man walking down Oak Street?! I've seen him twice now!"
"A teenager came to my door today and I didn't know him! Has anyone else been terrorized like this?"
Those NextDoor posts are something else.
In my area, they tend to take on racist undertones. But, there are also posts of equal-opportunity fearmongering, wherein strange cars, teenagers with clipboards, or nicely-dressed middle-aged ladies taking pictures of houses are suspected of casing the joint for later break-in, accompanied by the usual question: Should I call the police?
Folks really are that fearful, and it’s a sad state of affairs.

Literally had a fellow driver return to the station with bullet holes in the van. I’ll give you two guesses as to what race the driver was. Doesn’t matter that it was an Amazon branded van, with the driver wearing an Amazon uniform.
Definitely a white guy!
Were any charges filed against the shooter?
Nope. This was before there were cameras in the vans, and the shooter wasn’t one of the driver’s stops. The neighborhood was in the middle of nowhere, was gated and walled.
I only shot one driver and that was an accident, ok? I was trying to bag an armadillo for dinner.
