Amazon bathroom break upsell

When they gotta go, they gotta go

Amazon is a tough company to work for if you are a delivery driver. They have a ruthless commitment to satisfying their customer, which means getting orders delivered in a timely manner. In the past, this has led to drivers peeing in bottles and taking other desperate measures to meet their order quotas.

This is pretty depressing, but at the same time, I’m very guilty of ordering many items from Amazon this year. It’s just too easy to do so.

This got me thinking about a not-so-unhinged idea. What if you could purchase a bathroom break for your driver? There would be some form of payment to offset the revenue Amazon loses by falling behind schedule.

My guess is that the vast majority of people would not pay for this. However, some people would, and I bet if they did they have pretty nice bathrooms. Seems like a win in my book.
