What is your opinion of delivery drivers who toss packages onto customers' property, instead of walking up and placing package down?

Asked by jca2 (16279points) December 11th, 2022

I’m in a local FB group where someone posted a video of the Amazon driver tossing the package onto the customer’s property. It was a small package and the driver tossed it from the van window.

People are saying the driver should be fired, driver has no pride in his or her work, this is awful, what if the item was broken, customer should call customer service and complain, etc.

I’m saying it wouldn’t bother me as long as the package landed in the area where it’s supposed to (for example, landed near the front door as opposed to landing in the bushes), and as long as the item wasn’t broken.

People are arguing with me. Of course, it’s social media so this is what happens, but it leads me to wonder if I am too laid back about this topic and if it really is terrible of the driver, or if my “lenient attitude” is appropriate. I told one person I choose not to get pissed off over stuff like this, especially, as I stated, if the item is not broken and the package lands in a decent spot.

Of course, the driver doesn’t know if the item is breakable or not, but he is assuming that it’s packaged correctly and so he takes his chances.

What do you think?
