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.

Maybe he’s gone to the ‘quiet, inconvenient’ pub precisely because it’s off the beaten track and no one can stalk find him?

Could also could be a woman, she's parked up and currently talking her DP through finding something that's right in front of his face.

Brace op, it might be a while 🤣

Rage bait and ridiculous with it. Beyond ridiculous actually.

Maybe he's sat in his van with a pack of cheese and onion having a Jodrell Bank - it's still none of your business. Not now and not ever.

But anyway it's all immaterial because rage bait.

You sound charming. Willing to report someone to their employer because you think they’re drinking on duty? How utterly ridiculous.

Surely this is made up, otherwise wow, OP. You really are quite something!

There could be many reasons he’s in that car park - having a break, vehicle troubles, taking an important call, meeting with another driver to take additional parcels (this is common in Amazon - many of the routes are covered by subcontractors and the office teams know exactly where they are via GPS and how many stops they have left - if another driver is struggling they will reroute people to assist with deliveries) or simply having a lemonade at the bar because he wants to.

If you’re that desperate for whatever item it is you’ve ordered, maybe you should have ordered it sooner or picked it up from the shop; as the saying goes, poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on his (or her) part.

This.

@sosorryimnotsorry you do understand that drivers must legally take a break or stop driving and that they're actually tracked.

It's not always about you.

This is absolutely ridiculous. You haven't paid for delivery at a specific time, only by the end of the day (if you even paid for that). Do you not have a meal break at work? Tracking isn't always 100% accurate or up to the second anyway.

No, it might not be the sort of place you would go for a break, but given he's a delivery driver and probably has less refined tastes than your typical Very Important Business Owner, it was probably a matter of right place, right time to grab a coke and a bag of crisps. Or would you rather he googled for a lovely little gastropub within a 10 mile radius and toddled off there instead? FFS just because you've got a 'business' and a tracking app doesn't mean the world revolves around you.

This is up there as one of the most entitled posts I’ve ever read.

FUCKING HELL.

Words fail me.....

OP what job do you do that you don't get a break / eat / go to the toilet / have every minute of your day scrutinised and you're happy with this?

Hello, I used to be an Amazon driver. You take your breaks wherever you can, I parked up in many a pub car park because it was convenient/on the way to my next stop so I didn't have to go off route/the only place that has a loo for miles. Sometimes I'd just had enough and was stopping purely to take a break. Yes sometimes in the car park of a pub.

Frankly, get a fucking grip. Amazon drug and alcohol test regularly so he's not going to be getting pissed up on the job. You are getting your parcel today. Frankly, if you need something that badly to complete your order for tomorrow maybe you should've ordered it sooner.

So you think he will actually be drink driving whilst on shift?

This can't be real FFS 😂😂😂

God just when I thought I had heard it all. Get a grip there is no way this is real

It’s not his fault you were disorganised and didn’t order whatever is so important sooner. He’s a human being, he isn’t your slave.

Wow! Thanks for the feedback! Driver is still at the pub. It’s now been 1hr and 29 minutes since we first looked at the tracking.
I take drink driving extremely seriously and any member of staff here would be in trouble if they were caught at the pub on a break. Incidentally we are now 2hrs outside the delivery window which ended at 6:15.

Ffs.

Who the heck is the 1% that thinks the op been reasonable !

I mean to be fair if he's still there he's not drink driving is he

It wouldn’t be the first time we have had delivery drivers turn up clearly under the influence.

Maybe he’s broken down there.

Your Amazon tracking gives you the exact location of the driver? Here in the US it will say that it's however many stops away, and the little map shows the general location, but not close enough to see where the truck actually is. B

Maybe s/he's broken down? Maybe s/he is having a troublesome dump? Maybe s/he's been murdered?

It’s a part for a machiene that broke late last night. Someone is coming to fix the machine first thing tomorrow morning but doesn’t have the part. So it was ordered by my business partner through Amazon.
