Yesterday, an Amazon delivery truck was robbed in an Atlanta apartment complex. A video posted on Twitter shows three young boys taking advantage of an open door on the delivery van and quickly seizing packages while the driver stands by and watches.
The contents of the packages remain unclear, however, the person recording the incident commented “these n***** hittin’ the truck on gang” as they continued to take the packages. The Amazon driver wearing a blue vest and beanie attempted to communicate with the thieves, but they were undeterred.
The video caused a flurry of comments from viewers, with some criticizing the thieves, speculating the potential repercussions for the driver, and others believing that a “system” is keeping them down. One commenter stated, “Say goodbye to getting deliveries in that area going forward!”
Amazon drivers, operating as independent subcontractors, face immense pressure to meet delivery rates and complete routes within designated timeframes. With a situation like this, it doesn’t help matters. According to Insider, there are around 275,000 Amazon delivery drivers in the U.S. and they typically have 170 to 350 packages to deliver per shift depending on the location.
The consequences for the driver remain uncertain. DailyMail.com reached out to Amazon for comment but did not receive a response. This incident follows a recent case where an Amazon driver used profanity towards a 9-year-old who answered the door. The father reported the incident, leading to an ongoing investigation and direct communication with the customer.
Ultimately, these incidents bring to light the importance of doing something positive with one’s life rather than resorting to criminal behavior. A viewer commented, “they could probably join a track & field team, of course that would be beneficial to them - why would they do something positive?” Hopefully, these young boys have realized the mistake they made and will make a more positive effort going forward.
