    I’m not sure I believe this story:

    Jane reported the incident to the police and to an Amazon helpline. The call handler apologised to her for the “inconvenience”. She said: “I told her: ‘This is a police matter, it’s not an inconvenience. This is threatening behaviour by one of your couriers.’”

    She was able to call Amazon and get someone on the phone?

    … 72-year-old retired British social worker who lives in Spain and New Zealand …

    I think the more noteworthy part is how she has figured out macro-scale superposition.

    “I was stunned,” she told the Guardian. “He was masturbating vigorously.

    “I told him: ‘Your colleague has done something very bad.’ My Spanish did not extend to the word masturbate.

    Yeah Amazon doesn’t want to pay for shipping packages so they send a bunch of random people to our houses. I swear in like 2 years I never saw the same Amazon driver twice. With hundreds of people coming to your house every year a few are going to be bad.

      That’s not Amazon, it’s the company that bought the routes from Amazon.

      Amazon couriers are employees of a third party company, they often run different routes everyday.

        Whatever the company is, sending a different driver every time is not good for security or service. Not sure where they keep finding new people. One guess is the drivers don’t find it worth the effort and time and wear and tear on their own personal vehicle.

          Amazon is so bad at coordinating their deliveries that I have seen three delivery vans parked on my block at the same time. Now I’m just waiting for them all to show up at the same house at once.

        Amazon also allows individual people to sign up and deliver. No other company needed.

    I somehow don’t doubt the story. I’ve caught an Amazon driver pissing in a bush less than 100ft from a playground. Couldn’t have driven around the corner and down the road a bit? Gotta be at the playground where little kids aggregate and play?
