I hate this stupid world.

They still have a choice in the matter, if they don't wanna dance then don't dance

Yeah I've seen that and all kinds of other requests, a delivery company owner from the midwest told Motherboard. Technically if the delivery associate doesnt follow the instructions they can get dinged on their metrics for not doing so.

That's bullshit.

i'm so confused?
if i asked a delivery driver to dance for me he'd probably just be like "uh no?" and leave???

Dance if you want. Don't dance if you don't feel like it. Seems like these are a few folks that liked the idea and did it for fun. No issue with this.

Meanwhile, my Amazon drivers can't even fulfill the request to put packages on the back porch.

I don't believe for a second that Amazon would penalize them for not dancing

Bezos would more likely be mad at his deliverymen wasting time dancing than not dancing.

I can

Amazon treat their employees like dirt.
IF a dude is racking up negative reviews and customer complaints, no matter how invalid those are. They will just replace him with another drone.

Workers are cogs to Amazon. That's their entire business structure. It's been that way openly for years and years. They keep snapping the necks of unions and bribing politicans to keep it that way

this is ridiculous and cutting into precious bottle pee-ing time.

They'd be stuck in a hellish paradox where they're simultaneously told they're required to dance because it's what the customer wants, but then punished for dancing because it makes the deliveries take longer.

Is it to the tune of that one song? I don't think what happens next really matters
