> This is Amazon/Bezos' fault, not the driver's.

You sure this is only Amazon, and not also USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc?

I'd sooner blame your apartment complex than delivery companies.

Anecdotally, I've had so few problems with delivery drivers, that I can't recall specific examples.

On the other hand, the amount of lousy experiences with apartment complex management companies and their policies would fill a long twitter thread.

For example, ordered computer equipment from Newegg. It was delivered to my apartment complex mail room, which closed at 5pm. I left work early to pick it up, only to find out that the staff had closed down and went home early (4:45p).

At my building I’m pretty sure, given that every USPS package gets delivered to my mailbox, every FedEx and UPS package gets delivered to my apartment door, and like 25% of Amazon-delivered packages never show up or show up mysteriously a few days after they are marked as delivered.
FedEx maybe. UPS is unionized, I think they pay a fair wage.
So you assume that getting paid more automatically equates to more often doing the right thing?

Then it’s definitely not Bezos’s fault!

That is neat to hear. Rather than fix a systemic issue, couldn't we just have a national holiday?
