Amazon Caught With Their Trousers Down - Literally.

In the DT today - but also here, https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/03/amazon-apologizes-for-tweet-dismissing-claim-workers-pee-in-bottles.html

They don't half come out with the political spin as to how well they treat their workers. Time to own up and cough up, Mr. Bezos..hope UK workers haven't been exposed to this 'policy' - if so it's disgraceful.

Thoughts?

I am sure you will love it....know quite a few of the properties from friends who lived all over the lower town - you may enjoy my St Ives drawings from early in my life! (mainly pencil). Back in these days, the Pudding Bag was the café to use.....then there used to be Harts - the old man who owned it, right behind the Sloop, went to the grave with the recipe for amazing ice-cream and their raspberry sundaes were out of this world. Not least HSE would have freak outs now as on a high tide, waves would come over the wall and 'gate' and slosh through the parlour as the punters devoured their sundaes, splits and the rest. The nearest now is Jelberts over at Newlyn and that was around when I was a nipper!

Why are delivery drivers always blokes ?

I can only recall seeing one female

Bazile, it is harder for women to pee in a bottle, especially while they're driving

[Bazile]

I'm sure that's probably got something to do with it - but surely not the only reason ?

The tide still comes in there DT. When we were there in late 2019 the Wharf and Back Lane right there were 1ft deep in seawater and the sand from the bay was mostly on the dock. There was a German film crew in town all week filming an episode of a series that is a massive hit there taken from books written by Rosamunde Pilcher. Somewhere out there I am in an episode.

I've had things delivered by lady drivers Baz, Amazon,Post,Hermes and Tesco.

[Bazile]

Did they ask to come in to inspect the wall paper in your bathroom mamy :-)

[Mamyalynne]

My bathroom isn't wallpapered.

Has a delivery driver ever used my loo?

Yes.

[barry1010]

I've got an outside loo and offer it to delivery drivers. I've had workmen such as gardeners and electricians tell me they pee in a bottle in their van because they have no choice whilst they're out on a job.
My friend is a gardener and has a chemical loo in the back of her van.

Amazon initially refuted the allegation that employees had to pee in bottles.
Then many drivers confirmed they do indeed pee in bottles to keep on schedule.
Amazon replied that the drivers do not work for Amazon, they work for contractors. So that is alright then.
