So, like you, we use Amazon all the time.  Let's face it, in terms of delivery of goods and services in a timely manner, they are hard to beat-especially in these times of supply chain issues. That being said, they are not perfect. In fact, I had a delivery delayed for several days last week.  No big deal.  Probably, again, a supply chain issue.  Then I saw this and realized it could be more interesting than I could have imagined.

How crazy is this?!  You talk about a tough explain, right? Apparently, Amazon feels/felt the same way as this driver has now been relieved of his job According to TMZ.  This statement was released by Amazon:  “This does not reflect the high standards we have for our Delivery Service Partners and their drivers. Allowing unauthorized passengers to enter delivery vehicles is a violation of Amazon policy, and the driver is no longer delivering packages to Amazon customers.”
