I Have to Agree With Ice-T...
« on: May 22, 2019, 02:18:13 PM »
... Identify both yourselves and your vehicles Amazon individual delivery drivers! I don't have any here yet, but back in CA there were some sketchy looking people in unmarked beaters delivering packages. Amazon should really know better, especially since they're promoting inside the home delivery. Give these people some kind of uniforms/ID. Also to some of the drivers: Take a shower, get a haircut, and wear decent looking clothes (or the uniform)!

Up until a few weeks ago, almost all of my Amazon packages were being delivered by Flex: people in their private cars.  Amazon has been pushing hard and offering very low cost loans for people to buy a fleet of delivery vans with Amazon branding and start their own delivery business.  Lo and behold, this has started in my area.  Sprinter vans painted dark blue with Amazon branding, and drivers wearing a uniform.

You are one lousy risk manager.

We are going to have a 2.4 million square foot (600k sq ft footprint) fulfillment center opening here pretty soon so I expect to see a bunch of those vans to be running around.

You should always agree with Ice-T

This has happened in Cincinnati as well.

A little north of Houston at my parent's house, almost still out in the country, Amazon uses drivers to deliver packages.  I've been there when they have showed up with stuff my brother ordered.  They always call right before they get there.  And they haven't looked any sketchier than your typical east-Texan...

I suspect from his lyrics that Ice-T doesn't need to be convinced that the government and it's agents won't always act in his interests. Once that is accepted pretty much everyone starts to look at the RKBA as an important civil right.

20-somethings and 30-somethings driving 5+ year old modest cars.  About half of them are Mexicans.  There was one black woman.  None wearing hajib.  (typical east Texans)  A few probably look like Sheldon but I don't have a very large sample (about 6 or 7) :)
