I actually don’t mind this gig. I have my little pet peeves, but they’re small, and I mostly get over my annoyances quickly. Today, I was sent into the heart of the city—at 6:30am. Many of the apartments required entry through the leasing offices for non-residents. The leasing offices don’t open before 9 or 10. I was sent to a few businesses, none of which opened before 10, some not until much later. One customer put in her notes that Amazon would provide the code to access her building’s garage. What??? I did leave her a message that she’ll need to get the code and update that herself in the delivery notes. Being in the middle of a busy city, there were people on the streets everywhere and nowhere safe to just leave packages. I managed to deliver about 2/3 of my cart, but between places being inaccessible for various reasons and all the challenges delivering what I could, I couldn’t even get to them all by the end of my block, so I threw in the towel.

Better yet, at least 2 other people (some had more) tried to deliver these before I did. Not just that there were multiple yellow stickers, but multiple Flexers had numbered them before they got to me. Of course, all but maybe 3 of my packages were already “late,” and Amazon suggested I call them all. Hey, Amazon! You have people sitting in call centers. Why don’t you call them if you’re so concerned, and get better delivery instructions while you’re at it so you don’t leave this long trail of worn-out people who are actually trying to get them delivered?

I’m done with my rant now. You all stay safe out there, and I wish you all much better blocks than I had this morning!
