So I usually only do VOR3 for a 3:45 am block or before to avoid the chaos, getting there 20-30 minutes early, but this morning is an absolute cluster fk. Line out on Schmeer, cars circling the lot, horns honking, people yelling and cutting others off, vehicles parked mid lane waiting for a space preventing others from passing.. I’ve never seen it this bad at this time of the morning. I have to wonder how people aren’t missing their start times. And how this is affecting the stations metrics for getting deliveries out on time.

Aside from what they’re already doing to “improve” the lot, and I do believe they had to do something, what else can they do? Somethins gotta give. This is not sustainable.

Ok which one of you did this?😭😭

FYI- pulled into first lane before hitting the parking lot. Staff was checking phones for block start times. Backed up but not too bad. I was able to get through at 5:15 AM for my 6:00, technically 30 minutes before allowed start time.

Also, where in the heck are Sunday blocks?!

Have a great day and be safe out there, everybody!

So I know standings are a joke, don’t mean anything unless you’re at risk and are incredibly disproportionate when compared to the overall number of deliveries completed.

That said, I was doing my route a few days ago and had just completed my last delivery when I noticed that there was still a package listed on my itinerary. I was too far away from the location to mark it as missing so I called support. I told him that I didn’t have this on my possession and he marked it as missing.

But nooooo.. it showed up as a ding on my standings. I’m considering appealing it. I have no problem with justified dings, but this is bs. How am I responsible for a package that was never in my cart in the first place? Anyone else encounter this and what did you do?

Does anyone here do these? The offers say “+ tips, if applicable.” Do customers tip and if so, is it worth it?

Soooooo..

Parking was chaotic as usual so I pulled into one of the handicap spots at the west end and sat there with my car running until things calmed down a bit. I get really bad anxiety and I was just waiting for things to clear.. Anyway this Amazon dude who was out there getting carts - he had a vest on that said “lead” something- he tells me he’s “parking enforcement” and I can’t park there!🙄😂

Like are you fking kidding me?! I moved- I know I shouldn’t be parked there, but in my mind it was just for a minute or two whatever.

Anyway, on my way in I see him again and I said “so since you’re so vigilant about the parking situation out here, what are you going to do about “enforcing” all the shit that goes on in this lot?!

He tells me I’m like the 20th person who has complained today and there’s nothing he can do and says to call driver support. So I tell him, first- if you’ve heard this 20 times today, maybe you should take the complaints more seriously, and second, that I’ve contacted them many times and each time they say it’s the station’s responsibility. WHICH IT IS!!!!!

I said - you’re so concerned about me parking in a handicap space but look around! There’s cars illegally parked everywhere, cars blocking parked ones so they can’t get out, I tell him I’ve seen near misses with accidents and literal fights break out. And what about the cars who park in the truck lane on the west end? I told him these are just a few examples and that they really need to fix this shit.

He just shrugs and says I need to talk to the manager. So I roll my eyes and tell him he’s some enforcer, very bitchy and sarcastically. I was pissed. And also said what are you guys waiting for? A disaster? Good luck with that lawsuit!

So I go in and get my cart and while I’m loading, he comes back around 🤦‍♀️

He says he talked to the manager and was told that I needed to contact driver support. I told him that’s a bullshit lie and that he and his manager are stupid if that’s what they really believe is the correct resolution. He said something else but at this point, I wasn’t listening anymore and put my hand up to leave me alone.

I swear to god they DO NOT CARE!!!!😡🤬🤬🤬

No offers available.. too many onboards? I usually work early morning blocks and am never offered later times, ie later morning, afternoon or evening. Anyone else? Also, once I pick up one block, all the others disappear for the day, even when my first block ends.

Just got a ding for not delivering a package directly to the customer. This was for a block last Sunday from 3:15-6:45 AM. I didn’t have any apartments, and because Amazon says not to call them before 8, I’m sure I just left it at their front door with a picture. Now they’re saying they didn’t get it.

Would you have done anything different? How we’re responsible for what happens to a package after we deliver it to the correct location is beyond me.

Taking a hit for missing a block.. didn’t even scan the cart. Better that than putting a huge amount of mileage in and back home, or getting paid and taking the dings. Not worth it either way. Scamazon strikes again. What a joke.🖕🤬
