Any drivers care to comment if they actually get the 5 bucks.

A Driver drove their van off a narrow road and slid into my aunts neighbors house, luckily a tree blocked it from sliding into her house which was 10 feet away. They prolly need lots of thx, as that's prolly their last delivery for Amazon.. check it out:

Hmm... "We're glad to hear you enjoyed your delivery. Thanks for letting us know."

Not sure that actually accomplished anything.

I said "Alexa, Thank My Driver", and she said "I'm not sure how to help you with that" Frown

tried it again, same thing.

guess i'll do it on the web (although, my amazon delivery today came through USPS, so maybe that's why)

Good timing for my last delivery that was difficult with maintenance being done at my apartment with my driver struggling to get out of the small parking lot. Thanks.

Maybe they should just pay their drivers a decent wage and treat them well. Instead of pulling this bullshit just for good press. fark Jeff Bezos.

I looked, but there doesn't seem to be an option to give Bezos a $5 pay cut for every click so this'll be tacked onto the prices. But at least it'll make a few people feel good in the short term.

It's crazy how some americans are brainwashed out of class consciousness lol. some of the people in this thread spent more time crying than it would have to just click the link and help out a fellow working class person.

Quote from LivelySink338 :
No thanks, the drivers are just doing their jobs just like you and I, this tipping culture is getting out of control
It's not really a tip. It's Amazon giving them $5 more for you to take a simple action. My god, you're an awful human.

It's a trap, don't fall for it. They're trying to normalize tipping drivers.

Remember the first ones free

If Amazon really cared they would give their workers raises or seasonal bonuses instead of virtue signaling to customers that they're making a difference. But I guess this makes the customers feel warm and fuzzy inside

I use Alexa to thank my driver year around. I know it's Christmas season when she responds with the $5 thanks. Bothered by all the Grinch heart sized comments. Be thankful you have a hard worker delivering something you were probably to lazy to go out for. Enjoy
