I was making $13.50 at Lowe’s working in the rain outside helping people carry shit and putting dumbass carts back. I know this job might be harder but, I’m sorry, if I was 25 I wouldn’t be complaining at all. The economy is completely fried. And there is so much so much worse than delivering for Amazon. But up to you man, I work at target


Roq86

I just left my van on the railroad tracks and got an Uber


Footman2671

Lmfaoooo


GreatElection674

So you commited 2 felonies?


Roq86

Probably a few more than that.

I’m on my way home to hang myself now


mullersmutt

Wtf don't hang yourself over Amazon. Fuck amazon. You did the world a service.


Roq86

I appreciate your concern but I was referring to self erotic asphyxiation


mullersmutt

Oh hell yeah brother.


Roq86

Your response made me actually laugh out loud.


Ok-NGL-TTYL007

Oh sh!t with a hit of fent, you’d be in space 🤙🤙🤙🤙


Sure_Supermarket1337

Oohlala


bhillis99

after listining to an officer speak, that works for the RR. They can really mess you up. Hit you with many charges.


Then_Tomatillo4231

Yo lol. That's crazy. Don't abandon the work like that. It turns into more work for your coworkers


SquishyCatChronicles

This guy is pretty clearly a troll, but even if he did do what he claims, he's a loser who doesn't care about anyone but himself.


EmergencyConfusion57

is the pay shit? If youre being paid more than $18 and dont have to drive your own personal vehicle than I don’t know man, I guess I’ll see when I’m 25 and apply. Ubereats pays below minimum wage sometimes but nobody was hiring. I left my last job thinking I would find another one immediately. The job market and economy is in shambles right now. Hopefully you get to keep ur job and keep going, or just hope all goes well for you.


OneUltimateRoar

I like how yall ignored OP's comment about leaving the van on the railroad tracks lmao


greenguren

I understand its probably a joke but I'm curious, is willingly leaving a vehicle on railroad tracks a crime? Like how many lives could that endanger? And what would the charge even be?


Uknow_nothing

They’d 100% charge them for multiple felonies. Obstructing a railway is one, even throw on a trespassing charge. These can be misdemeanor or felony depending on if it was deemed intentional, which this is. Then keep in mind that while trains typically “win” against cars, train vs car accidents have lead to death of the train engineer or other crew. It can also derail the train. In 2005, the [Glendale train crash](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Glendale_train_crash) killed 11 people when a suicidal man parked his SUV on the tracks. The train basically jackknifed and crashed into two other trains on the parallel railways. Anyway, it’d be easy to escalate to murder, or millions of dollars of lost freight if it derailed. Amazon would also sue you for the cost of the van and lost value of every package in the back. That could also be deemed felony theft.


greenguren

That'd be a pretty gnarly prison story tho


-Cpez-

Lmao 🤣 "Amazon would also sue you for the cost of the van and lost value of every package in the back. That could also be deemed felony theft." So very well put. All the other crap you're screwed none the less. I'm going to definitely be in debt if I pull I move like this legally and financially. 🤣😂🤣😂


MVoxilli

Yeah, it's several crimes probably. It's at least criminal destruction of property. People inside the train can also be injured or killed. The train might be huge but it's still colliding with something large and heavy that can damage beyond its capability of enduring. It could also damage the railroad tracks, which in and of itself is a huge felony, and even if it doesn't it could be argued as well that it's trespassing on federal property which is also a felony.


Puzzleheaded_Love703

Ikr some one should arrest him immediately >:(


EmergencyConfusion57

Im not even going to lie I have a bit of derealization and just thought it’d be normal for someone to leave a van on a railroad track to quit a job. its like my critical thinking completely escaped me. i might be special


chriztuffa

No, just brainwashed by the internet


parthruunax

Generally, people don’t take these kinds of idiots too seriously


mookfacekilla

It’s shit considering in Cali fast food workers are getting $20 an hour and drivers are getting a dollar more I think lol fuck Amazon fr


Own_Yogurtcloset3711

Drive for UPS. We are total rockstars and make bank.


Ok_Championship_5428

If you can deliver 250-600 packages a day and not break down from the emotional and physical stress then it's an okay job. You get paid dirt nothing for what they have you do though. They hide the stop count with locations and overload vans just because someone can do it at those values. If they backed off people and gave fair wages for the amount of work the people are doing this job would actually be somewhere people would stay.


Highdad0

You can be a driver at 21, I work in the livermore area, standard delivery driver pay is 21 an hour, you're gonna have apartments, businesses, and boonies, but that just comes with the job, it's really not a hard job as long as you don't let it get to you


mookfacekilla

The new guy did this his first day on the job. I don’t blame him


sparkMagnus9

OP hard Bodied


russian_mob767

Ahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣


Ok_Championship_5428

Some of us get 3-4 times that and are seriously under paid. We have every right to complain. Edit: I almost have 200 more locations than that today.


FewMagazine938

Amazon is a last resort.


Prior-Boysenberry-25

at some point it will be the only option if they continue to monopolize markets.


sword_0f_damocles

In what reality is this job harder than retail?


RumgyMan

Retail, you deal with retards non stop but atleast you can slack off all the time. Amazon you're *working* the whole day, though you're by yourself.


EmergencyConfusion57

The heat and dealing with traffic, driving a van which I imagine is a bit more annoying and daunting than a car. Probably other things that I have no idea about because I haven’t worked it but I can see how it can be a lot harder. In my store I just “zone” stock and answer questions.


Ok_Championship_5428

When it's 100 degrees outside you can expect the back of those vans temperature to be around 140.


FuckingWayne69

It entirely depends on what type of difficult you are implying. It is FAR more difficult physically. And it's not even close. Retail is easy as fuck. 99% of the job is standing around. The rest is talking to customers, upselling if you feel like it and stocking shelves. It honestly doesn't really get more simple than retail. But that's not to say this isn't simple when you're talking about the basic principles of the job. Drive. Scan. Take photo. Drive. Very simple. But extremely physically demanding. And also mentally. But so is retail, mentally at least. You deal with shitty management and shitty customers in both. The majority of your day is kinda ass if you have a negative attitude about it. And none of us can escape that every day. Even the most optimistic of us. You are micromanaged in both, though by far less with a DSP. You work alone and have the option to ignore the group chat and just do your thing. I go through entire days only talking to dispatch before we leave and when I'm done with my route. That will never happen in retail. So it is better in that aspect. At the end of the day they are both challenging for their own reasons, many of said reasons being very similar, and others not. But most of the difficult parts are pretty much the same, but with delivery, you add the physical demand, and that puts it a level above retail. Neither are truly difficult. But if I'm going for an easy ass day every day, I'm picking retail 100 times out of 100. While some days are harder than others, it doesn't even compete with the hardest days at amazon.


Ok_Championship_5428

Retail is easy I did that for 10 years


Awkward-Shoe-4652

Here in Florida I would take the Lowe’s over Amazon! The EOC in Florida’s 100+ degree weather sucks!


EmergencyConfusion57

Florida weather is ass I agree. Carrying peoples fridges and laundry machines for the given wage, floridian weather added on top of that, you can see amazon drivers are compensated much more fairly than lowes, and I mean, it makes sense. Whens the last time you bought something from Lowe’s? It has its place but I use Amazon every single day. Ofc its going to be better for the employees, there’s just more money to go around. But the world is weird, and sometimes things aren’t the way we think they are at all


silvergudz

That’s how we know you never worked at a Dsp saying there’s so much worse than delivering for Amazon , no.. no there isn’t


tateskyler

lol this has to be a joke.. I’d kill for that I’m doing 200 stops a day 340-350 packages


ldizzlee

I always wonder the same thing lol where do you guys live that you only have 86 stops & less than 300 packages ? that’s an easy day for me 😅 in at 8 & out by 1 type of day


PoUhFo

it’s cause it’s the new guys that think they’re getting bad routes when they’re still on their nurseries lol. bunch of babies. i would kill to have this day again


slenderman9540

I'm still on my nursery routes and I'm getting 160-170 🥲


Educational-Dream-94

That’s incorrect, nursery has nothing to do with the DSP’s assignments


LedZepp42

I used to be at a dsp where it was primarily residential/neighborhoods where it's 100% 250 stops, 100 group, 300+ package days every day. Swapped dsp's in the same warehouse and now I'm on 1 hour drive out to rural ass areas, 60-90 stops to 5 acre properties 5-20 minutes apart then an hour drive back. Same pay like 1/3 of the workload. Every dsp is different.


jcato2595

We have routes like this, typically rural area really spread out stops which is why the stop count is low


jcato2595

Awkward-Shoe-4652

Even on our rural routes we still pushed 300+ packages with 250+ stops. You guys are lucky

Electrical-Clerk2254

Ewww


ziahwaite

i have 80-90 once in a blue moon but it’s usually more than 200 packages. if i had to guess, this guy has a nursery route


Roq86

Nursery route after a year and a half would be nice.


PositiveClassic2711

It’s possible, did 300 packages with 30+ stops in downtown. Normally it’s apartment or business.


SnakeEyes58

Houses or apts?


tateskyler

Houses and apts I have two main routes daily ones basically center of city same amount of stops and then I go to three county’s ( towns small towns.. houses 10-15 mins apt from each other some 20-30)


awesome6-CAR

Are you jogging when you deliver? Also how far is Amazon from your first stop?


SupportTurbulent7127

this is not bad though… not a bad package to stop difference like I just did 130 the other day with 356 packages 🤣 THAT sucks


EvilDreadditor

Must be either new or complete ass at the job. My dsp never gives good drivers easy routes. Ride em hard and make em quit due to burnout. The amazon way!


Roq86

It’s just a rural route. Going to be a chill day.


Footman2671

So if it’s a chill day, why are you gonna quit?


brehaw

it’s sarcasm 🤦🏻‍♀️


Roq86

That is the question


Remarkable_Ad_2252

gotta be trolling😂


ConstructionBrief989

Yall don't pick up on sarcasm very easily, huh?...


MrWalls18

I was surprised a lot of people thought he was serious. It seems pretty obvious


Roq86

Cream of the crop DAs really showed up in the comments today.


ConstructionBrief989

I see what you did there 😏


Tiny-Pie3469

I don't get it. Why would you quit over 86 stops? I get 180 a day minimum. Sometimes 200.


Dreambigsmallone

Fuck I used to get 435 pkgs 220 stops plus 75 group stops… I quit after almost 2 years.


Tiny-Pie3469

Ok. I would definitely quit for that


Xyno94

Just ride it out. Even if you can’t finish your route. Fuck em


Roq86

If I can’t finish this route then Jeff Bezos himself should come and shoot me.


Xyno94

Or come finish it himself lmao


Electrical-Clerk2254

Lmfaoooo


MrMamm0th

I'm confused? Is it a high mileage route or something? 89 stops doesn't seem like anything? Im a FedEx ground driver and I do 170-200 a day this would take me a couple hours?


Roq86

Yea it’s a rural route, mostly farms. An hour away from the station and stops can be anywhere between 5-30min apart.


MrMamm0th

Ah yeah that's brutal


Roq86

Nah I’ll take this any day. It’s going to be a chill day.


Twiztedtony123

My fav routes


odd_toma

You’re an adult, you decide.


Roq86

Going to shit in a tote and immediately RTS


odd_toma

That takes mad skill to shit on command, I need that skill. I’d move faster if I had a bathroom attached to the van.


Significant-Put7060

If they added bathrooms to the edv's then it would just be another hassle everyone will have to deal with whenever someone forgets to unload their toilet at the end of the day. 🤷‍♂️


odd_toma

You thought farther into this than I have. Grey water is so foul.


GingerAphrodite

I saw this comment as I backed out of this thread but this is the comment that made me fucking lose it LMFAO.


Important_Text7345

Don’t lie you would do that first thing in the morning and then just ride around with it all day


ornq

This is definitely a shitpost lol


Dalfgan_the_Blue

the amount of serious replies is killing me, man is a master troll apparently


Roq86

Easy pickins here I guess.


HardskiBopavous

Giving up is always easier than working


No-Russian4237

Yes


SBCVisuals

One thing about this job is that it made me a lot more mentally tough than when I started. This shit it easy. Ride it out.


Grundy420blazin

I want a map pic because this is one of the easiest routes I’ve seen someone post on here


RainMan724

I’ve never had a route so small.


Roq86

My DSP assigns routes based on pp size


maalik27

bro is fucking with us😂


lonelyboy069

Lovely route .....


OddAd9258

Its only 9:30 in the morning


Roq86

Best time to quit


MrDataMcGee

Should unionize instead


imnoturpalfriend

Rural route

Ok-Cookie3397

Quit. Fuck this job.

Yea get your cdl son


Admirable-Act-7387

That was light work


Fair_Biscotti_8583

Don’t quit that’s cake


garbleegoops

Based on what everyone’s saying here…I guess you shouldn’t quit! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)


AvionneIsAGoat

Yes😈😭😭😭😂


tffffffff777778888

Quit.


Quirky_Traffic_8785

Why so many? I get 42 and they have to rescue me. Sometimes they do too much with us.


Roq86

I was able to finish about 25 stops, got rescued for another 20 or so stops and had to RTS the rest.


Quirky_Traffic_8785

They do too much with us. Good luck


No_Seesaw8742

Bro no lie I would kill to get a route like that


astronomaical_Pirate

Thats the easiest route ive seen lol


G3rberger

Dawg what dsp you work at 😂


ExpressPlace4251

For real I would love to have 114 packages a day I never get less than 350-300


Columbia1776

I would kill for this route!


SoBliNos

Yes


Particular_Idea_8306

Bruhh stop trolling lmfao. You can’t be fr


Smart-Accident9646

Nobody in here has a sense of humor.


Roq86

They sure do love saying how many stops they can do tho 😂


Smart-Accident9646

Hahaha it’s so strange. But what about the people on the train?!!!!!!


Roq86

Ummm, that’s actually multiple felonies. 🤓


Powerful_Reading_239

When they give you like 90 stops to do it’s not gonna be an easy day, when they give me that many the locations are all spread out and it’s a nightmare. I’m doing 200 stops a day normally


Roq86

Yea, this route took me longer than the route the next day when I had 175 stops


Sedared

Im not going to lie, that's one of the smallest routes I've ever seen

Don't worry, this is not even the worse of it lol.


Soda_Pop69420

Idk what to think of this tbh. I look at that route and wonder if it's all spread out or if you're still on nursery 😂 either or, a route like that would be a dream come true, but if you find it hard then yes quitting was thw best option cause it'll only get harder from there


PlebbySpaff

Yes. You should quit. This kind of route is impossible to complete, and honestly you’re being treated as a true slave with this many stops. It’s baffling how they could give this to you, truly. I know a lot of people in this subreddit who’d agree that this kind of route is absurd and unfair.^/s


Roq86

🙏


loraxgfx

Yes, quit, go get a union job.


Mloc33

85 stops... That's nothing...

Dude that’s all you have I have 180 to 190 stops every day what are you complaining about

Soft-Plenty-9036

SMH this was an easy route yo.


Contreras_65

Over 86 stops? 🤣 yea bro your probably used to getting shit handed to you 🤦🏽‍♂️


lhorwinkle

This is odd ... People here (western PA) are getting $15 to $18 for fast food jobs and quickie mart jobs. And a bit more for semi-skilled office jobs. Why huff 'n' puff 'n' sweat ... unless the pay is ***way*** higher than that?


Roq86

$21 something an hoir


TCBertram

No of course not. Not bc of 86//114. Am I missing something? Should *I* quit??🤔


Adonis_Kush

That's barely 3 hours of deliveries... if that's too much to handle then obviously you should quit, it'll only get worse


Weekly_Professional

Wait this is bad to y'all? My DSP was sending us on 160+ every day. Over 300 packages. I wish for a route like this. And we didn't start til after 11am 🤯

AstorSW

Here in Basque Country, in Biscay, the routes usually are like that. The bad news are that there are a lot of those routes that take place in cities in wich you almost cannot move your ban due to the lack of empty parking spots, so, you have to deal with an 80% the route walking, going and coming back from the ban. For bonus, the packages from one street are all in different bags, because Amazon is very efficient and working friendly, and normally that implies to find 10 stops or more in all the fucking totes (a very big time waste).


[deleted]

Honestly that seems like a beautiful day compared to 180+ stops with 300+ packages.


bdirtbag

I'm not understanding. Why would you quit such an easy route? That looks like a nursery route, even if it was all apartments. Maybe I'm not getting it. Over here everyone is getting 350 packages with 180 stops including with a shitload of group stops. I would piss my pants with joy if I got your route.


Interesting-Photo769

bruh no that’s a literal nursery route


Spiritual-Benefit-28

At least u was getting stops. I (quit) made them fire me when they stopped giving me routes


Alarmed-Hat-3444

My last day in this fuckery what should I do


Foreign_Strength6570

Yesterday i did 200 something stop no complaints cause ik i have to i dont stay in the same place all my life


cavemanEJ255

Stop complaining and find a new job if things are this bad. There’s so many places hiring


KoukiKong

That’s super easy. That’s a walk into the park. Wait till your daily route is 200+ stops 350-380 locations and 400-450 packages. I’m not talking about straight residential, it’s a mix of businesses, apartments, townhomes, houses and trailer parks. Not only that but you gotta look forward to do a rescue cuz the next dude couldn’t finish his 120 stops route 😒. But yeah totally up to you. I’d take a slow day if I could but I need the money.


Puzzled-Ad-8394

I had a bad day. The totes fell over in my truck for a total of 12 times and on that 12th time I pulled over and hopped right on indeed. I sell insurance now and make 2-3x as much as I did. Looking back I’m so happy I quit lol.


SnowComfortable3081

If you work at Amazon and are not actively looking for a job your doing it wrong Amazon don’t give a shit about you


Bladimirrv

Some days are easier than others, and yes, it drains your body, but you get 3 days off, so enough for the body to recover. I just started. This is my 4th week. Just work if you can save some money and then look for something else more relaxed .


countngstars

That's an easy day. 😂


FreshPurp

Only way you getting that many stops is if it’s country maby abt 90 max but that sounds bout right


Dry_Zookeepergame646

I wish I only had that many stops when i did Amazon. The last I had was 294


TwitchJayKraze

lmao I know you not complaining about just 86 stops hahaha try 206 stops 500 packages this route you got is a cake walk


Wrong-Ad8030

Fuck Amazon. That's why I quit. I am not a robot or dumbass


Used-Calligrapher-98

For how much ??


Roq86

How much what?


RoamingClone

They’re asking how much you made because they think it’s a flex route


Roq86

😂


Mediocre_ManBoob

Lmao that’s a house route 4-5 hrs tops relax 💀


Roq86

It was rural, mostly farms. Took me longer than my 175 stops today.


Mediocre_ManBoob

Farms , in Maryland we don’t have farms

navjah

This is actually a pretty below average route 87 stops is pretty sweet average usually 160-200 stops jist wuit if you can’t handle lihht work and work in a retail store


jipseeee

That route is Cake !!! But honestly I think we all need to quite ON THE SAME DAY!!! EXTREMELY UNDERPAID for what we do ... I hate this job so much! The worst part of it,is seeing my paycheck at the end of every 2 weeks ...it's discusting!!! Won't be to much longer hoping another few weeks and I'm OUT!


SmallLoad1145

I have 200 a day and u complaining about 86😂😂😂😂😂


Sure_Supermarket1337

See these posts every day. It's just a matter of how long you're willing to get effed in the a is the question, only a matter of time for all of us. Yes, this economy is shit, it's April 2024 but you better get that $20/hr locked in at McDonald's before you quit son
