Amazon delivery driver in pub on duty.

[sosorryimnotsorry]

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.

unless your delivery is on a specific time slot, just leave it. Everyone is entitled to a break and I bet even you stop work during the day sometimes. Maybe you should have ordered your products sooner so that you aren’t stressing about getting your order out! If you reported to me that someone was parked up for 35 minutes, I’m sorry but I would laugh it off!

Wouldn't ot be simpler to ask Amazon for all the delivery drivers schedules in the area so you can check it all matches your criteria and they stick to your set timetable and dont veer off course?

This should be a AIBU because yes you are.

Maybe he's on his lunch break?? Get a grip of yourself.

Why does that not surprise me? But for someone who’s constantly telling us how busy she is, you have a lot of time to spend on mumsnet arguing your right!
Clearly, the vast majority of posters think you’re totally out of order, but you still argue you’re right. Maybe read back through your posts and ponder on how you come across to other people! It’s really not a good impression you’re giving!

You don't need to be convinced. It's absolutely none of your business.

I think, for whatever reason, the driver thought he was finished for the day and went to the pub. Not all Amazon drivers have vans or unifors that say they work for Amazon.

It must have been very frustrating to see the notification that the package was so close, when actually he had stopped work.
I hope you get it fixed.

Any updates today OP? Your popular and successful thread is spot on entertainment 😍

Isn't the most boring explanation the likely one? Tracking not working properly. Parcel wrongly delivered.

What did the delivery photo show?

The driver had marked packages as delivered around 11pm last night. I say packages as that was what customer service told my colleague this morning.

Make your mind up

As for employees at the pub. We would indeed be appalled if one of our employees went to the pub during a work shift, in a sign written van and our uniform. It isn’t professional and isn’t what our customers expect from us.

If, during a work shift, they get a lunch break and they go to the pub for a meal and don't drink alcohol there then it's none of your business

It's their time, they aren't drink and there's nothing unprofessional about it

If we get a slightly longer break (sometimes happens due to how our work is) then we'll often go over the road to the local pub for a meal, in uniform and well recognised because some of our customers are there too!

Work can't say anything because we aren't drinking

Yeah drop him in it and get him sacked, how dare he have a 45 min break in his 15 hour day where he barely has chance for a wee because you want your thing right this instant, despite him having absolutely zero knowledge of what or why you need it or who you are, and despite him being paid horrifically badly by a tax dodging trillion pound company who deliberately and systematically treat their employees badly, but we all still use them because its convenient and cheap. He's definitely the bell end here (sarcasm).

I’m convinced that a lot of ‘business owners’ on here have never so much as touted Avon to their mates.

You're really reaching.

He/shes allowed to spend they're break however they like. They're probably also self-employed, so they can do what they want whenever they want, as long as they deliver by the time/on the day.

Might be meeting a mate, watching the racing. visiting a house close by. Might even live in a house close by. Might be having a nap! Whatever!? None of your beeswax.

Just seen the update. It sounds like they’ve done their hours they’re paid for and have gone to the pub.

Let them eat their sarnies in peace FFS. As long as it arrives within your notified delivery slot they’ve met their target.

How would you like it if you were eating your lunch at work and your boss pulled you out to deal with a snotty customer?

You're going to get no sympathy on this one. They get paid crap money but you still want to screw his life up for your own selfishness.

Jesus Christ why is Mumsnet such a cess pit of bullies!?

Why are you all being so nasty to her and being so condescending about the traumatic death of a loved one FFS!? Whats wrong with you all?

Or they're those asshole bosses you read about and don't believe they actually exist

They test them for alcohol periodically so I doubt he was drinking! You get a lunch break so why shouldn’t he!

You cannot go around stating that the delivery driver was drinking with no actual evidence. If you'd driven to the pub and seen him with your own eyes then fair enough but you didn't.

I wonder how the Amazon trackers work. I know that with evri they often just click delivered when they've stopped for the night and sometimes the parcel arrives in the morning.

I can understand you being annoyed at a late parcel if you were expecting it before 1pm but I learnt a long time ago that parcels you need urgently never turn up on time. I think you are totally unreasonable to be slandering this driver with no actual proof.

I think this is made up story just to get reactions as it can’t really be real I have shown my friends and family this post and they all said same it can’t be real 🙈😂😂😂

You sound like you are entitled and to be honest completly bonkers. Firstly, he is entitled to a break that he can take anywhere regardless of whether you think it’s a coke and a packet of crisps type of pub. I drove regularly for work and stop in a wide variety of places with no pre conceived idea of the place. He could be eating a sandwich in the car/ having a wee/ on the phone. Legally he is entitled to a break. You are literally what is wrong with the world. You want to report someone for taking a break. Horrible person.
