Amazon delivery driver in pub on duty.

More a What would you do than an AIBU.

Currently awaiting an Amazon delivery. It’s important as I need it for my business and need it today so products can be made to send out tomorrow. So I’m anxious for it to arrive.
I have been following the tracking of the van. I’m the next delivery and have been for over 35minutes. The van has not moved in that time and is in a car park outside a pub a couple of miles away. The pub is down a lane with no other properties or buildings down there and the tracking is showing it in the car park.

I’m not going to lie I’m pissed off because I need my parcel urgently and I’m waiting for a delivery man to finish his drink in the pub and actually bother to deliver it.
My question is would you report them to Amazon? I have screenshots of the tracking.

It’s the type of place you don’t go unless you know them. And no I doubt many go there primarily for a drink. God knows how they still open and have a license. One of the owners has been inside several times for drugs and money laundering. The type of place that make you uncomfortable even driving past. It is very well known round here.
You wouldn’t stop there for a break and sit in the van.

Sounds like you know it well. Your local is it?

He has been 35 mins so not a quick break. Pub doesn’t serve or sell food. Never has.
Not the type of place you would go for a snack or a coke.

Leave him be. You’ll either get your delivery or you won’t . 🙄

Yes @BriefEncountersOfTheThirdKind precisely because we are so busy just now we have to. We have a small yard and only one loading bay. We are in the big push to get products out the door to retailers before the Christmas. Our lane is narrow and doesn’t have room for multiple Lorry’s or vans to pass easily. So yes to make things work just now we have to closely manage logistics.

Sure whatever

What if they are coming at the same time? Do you rush out and stop them?

Does some poor sod have to sit there watching delivery trackers (most of which don't give you the ability to track every second and just give you a time period)?

So busy but you spend hours on here whinging about a driver?

Christ. STILL no package. He must be fucking legless by now.

I reckon the druggy landlord has got him on the hard stuff now.

He's pawned OP's parcel to pay for his addiction

DingDongJingle · 07/11/2025 17:09

Has anyone considered that the poor delivery driver might have been dragged into County Lines? 😮

Maybe his van's now being used to deliver drugs all across the country

His tracker says the pub because that's where they took it off

He will have to by law take scheduled breaks due to his taco card and so what if he takes an hour break, I took an hours break from my work today too and it was none of any customers business.

Edited

Not sure Amazon drivers have taco's in their vans.

Morgan37 · 07/11/2025 17:52

sosorryimnotsorry · 06/11/2025 19:35

He is at a well known drinkers pub. It isn’t the type of place you go for a break.

Thats his choice OP, he/she can take their break anywhere they want to

sosorryimnotsorry · 06/11/2025 19:32

Pub doesn’t sell food. It’s a tiny drinkers pub. Much more convenient places to stop.

In that case I would assume he is at stool in the joint & simply 'wait [him] out' 🫡

How do you know he's in the pub. Jr might be sitting in the van in the carpark eating his sandwiches and just nipping in to the loo.

Because it's been over 24 hours, the parcel never showed up and the order's been cancelled now.

Trishyb10 · 07/11/2025 18:09

Is this real? Self absorbed and entitled springs to mind

norestforthewickedwitch · 07/11/2025 18:11

Let the poor bloke have a lunch break!
You sound delightful 🙁

Twinkylightsg · 07/11/2025 18:11

You are insane OP. All you know is he is parked there. You do not know he is in there r having a drink.

He could be having a break, his lunch, or he could be having issues with the van and just parked there while trying to sort it out.

You have made assumptions over a bloody parcel. Get a grip.

Joloman74 · 07/11/2025 18:13

How do you know he isn't on his break? He might be having something to eat on his break, he may know the people that run the pub AND! He actually might be making a delivery there and has run in to a problem! You sound impatient and demanding and a busy body!

Parked up to deliver multiple parcels? Live close by and went home for lunch? Meeting a friend? Struggling to find someone to take the parcel in? Got chatting to a lonely elderly person? Broken down? Flat tyre? Whatever it is, it’s nothing to do with you.

Maybe he's sitting in the pub carport eating his packed lunch.

Lovehascomeandgone · 07/11/2025 18:54

I have seriously never read anything so ridiculous. Grow up OP and STFU.

ensayers · 07/11/2025 19:02

It doesnt mean they are in the pub, or the carpark. Drivers are able to switch their gps off and it will continue to show as the them being at the last position registered until it is switched on again
