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.

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

Get a grip dear…he’s allowed a break and a piss. Do your own bloody shopping for gifts if a delivery driver having a break upsets you. He may have sandwiches and have parked up there for a soft drink and use the facilities.

RedRiverShore5 · 06/11/2025 19:38

He might be having a drink, followed by a long shit, I'm surprised you don't pop along there to find out. Maybe if your stuff was that important you should have ordered it earlier, Amazon delivery is generally anytime up until 9 or 10pm

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

Maybe eating a packed lunch while sat in the van parked in the car park having stopped there because they have a toilet 🤔.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/11/2025 19:39

If it says will be delivered today then as long as at yours by 11.59 thorn he has done nothing wrong imo

sometimes mine will say a time so 6-8

if not there after 8 then you could say it’s late

but he’s prob having a break

hea also self employed so if wanted to have a drink he could but obv not professional

unicorntail · 06/11/2025 19:39

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.

Who are you to decide that?

IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 06/11/2025 19:39

How about being better organised then begrudging someone having a break?

ObtuseMoose · 06/11/2025 19:42

Fuck me, what an arsehole (not the driver!)

Heyheyitsanotherday · 06/11/2025 19:42

You have absolutely no idea what’s he’s doing or how reliable the tracking is. If you can see where he is do you not think his boss can? There could be a reason he’s stopped you have no idea about. You ordered next day. It will come. It’s not time specific. Chill out and order in advance next time.

SagittariusDwarf · 06/11/2025 19:42

Stop stalking him!

tinytemper66 · 06/11/2025 19:43

I hope he delivers your parcel at the last possible minute. Cheeky cow.

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

So what? Can he not be sat up in the van having his sandwich and using the loo in the pub?

Or had a puncture? Broken down? Family emergency and he's on the phone? Quick nap in the car park?

PinkKimono · 06/11/2025 19:44

Vote is currently 100% on the driver's side, which is nice to see.

DiscoBeat · 06/11/2025 19:44

100% YABU, there's your answer!
He's allowed a break. In fact he HAS to have a break with a delivery job.

Loveyournails · 06/11/2025 19:45

You are being ridiculous.

He could be on his break.
He could be using the toilet.
He could be sitting in the van eating his packed lunch.
He could be making a phone call.

Whatever he is doing yabu.

TheNightingalesStarling · 06/11/2025 19:45

You realise if you can see this, his bosses can also see it? Its pretty hard to get away with stuff these days.

I thought this was someone seeing a driver downing a pint then getting in a works van.

XenoBitch · 06/11/2025 19:46

I hope he also delivers your ass to you too because you are so BU it is unreal.

Serencwtch · 06/11/2025 19:46

The delivery drivers get paid for each delivery rather than by the hour so he can do as many deliveries as he wants.
Better than the ones who drive like idiots & chuck them over the fence to get in as many as possible.

DeanStockwell · 06/11/2025 19:46

Surroundedbyfools · 06/11/2025 19:37

Maybe you should be more organised and order ur things in advance so you don’t need to be watching every move that some poorly paid delivery driver makes. You don’t own anybody !

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

The driver is allowed a break, even if in the unlikely event ( because they generally hardly have they to catch their breath) he is on a unscheduled break, so what ? Are you going to yell at them when they turn up ?

He’s a driver, he needs to park up to eat his lunch that he’s taken with him. You are a bit bonkers

WhereAreMyKids · 06/11/2025 19:49

Let the chap have a shit!

Seriously, back off the tracking.
