Why are Amazon Fresh delivery people so fucking stupid?

What is a door, please?

And your pesky buzzers aren't carrion flies? How nice!

But good luck with your terrible problems.

If they had mashed the buttons instead of hitting them, they'd get inside.

Darfur Orphan, you could handle this job better than these idiots. Please come to the states and work for Amazon!

I had a water delivery service here in NYC , delivering those large water cooler sized containers twice a month. They never read my instructions, which were to buzz my unit (it's a single button press), be let in, and to leave the water containers by the stairs in the entry hallway. I had people lugging them up 4 flights to me (very kind, but not necessary or expected), or just leaving them outside the door on the building's stoop (not a great idea in NYC) and taking off. I'm not sure why these delivery services ask you to specify delivery instructions if they don't have employees read them, but that seems to be the case.

Perhaps they are straight me?

I suspect that some of these people cannot read but their employers don’t know it. No readers can be very good at bluffing.

Maybe it's because their algorithim boss is counting down every second that they aren't getting to the next delivery and penalizing them based on predetermined (and very unreasonable) benchmarks. If they won't get in trouble for just leaving it wherever in the building then oh well, they're incentivized to be fast not to provide a good service.

My home is hard to find also. After a couple of incidents I typed in simple instructions to get to my front door. That note stays on the Amazon Fresh site so no retyping necessary. All my deliveries have been perfect since then.

Seems like a consistent problem. Maybe you should just go to the door to route them.

Why don’t you just meet them at the door, OP?

Correction, OP: Why are New York Amazon Fresh delivery people so fucking stupid?

Perhaps you’re being fresh with them, OP?

Get your own damn groceries you fat whore!!!

[quote] My home is hard to find also. After a couple of incidents I typed in simple instructions to get to my front door. That note stays on the Amazon Fresh site so no retyping necessary. All my deliveries have been perfect since then.

I've done this. It has the code to buzz (so they don't have to even look it up on the listing) and the explicit direction to walk straight down the hall through the fire doors until they reach my apartment. It's really not difficult.

And I don't go out to meet them or go shopping right now because I'm being treated for cancer and am immunocompromised. I don't think it's much to ask when I'm paying for a service to have them walk an additional 50-75 feet to leave the groceries at my front door.

Oh good, a SECOND thread to complain about grocery delivery because Waddles McGee can't fit her fat ass in her Fiat 500 to waddle to the store herself.......

When I used Amazon Fresh I went to the front door. I had a small grocery cart that I'd wheel outside, and told them to put all the groceries inside. Then I didn't have to closely interact with them and they had an exact location.

Fat Ho Foods, Amazon Fresh and one other in Manhattan mostly leave stuff in the lobby. It’s not a ritzy concierge service.

What R9 said. If you have to leave multiple sentences worth of instructions and leave codes and shit for people just go meet them or live somewhere less ghetto or locked down.

[quote] explicit instructions

That’s your problem right there

Also, 1 or 2 fire doors?

What's your damage, Karen? Get off your fat ass and go to the store yourself.

[quote]I don't go out to meet them or go shopping right now because I'm being treated for cancer

Liar.

I became a little more understanding after riding in the backseat of a dealership’s car and watching its GPS give bad turn directions a block from my home, but that doesn’t explain not being able to navigate a hallway. Good luck!

I found a delivery at my door one Friday evening after a very stressful week at work. It wasn't mine and I made some attempts to find the address listed on the label. No Luck. Finally, I called the Amazon Fresh customer service to advise them of the mistake. After almost an hour of being transferred and repeatedly explaining the situation, I was advised that I could keep the delivery. I was tired by that point and wanted to get on with my relaxing evening. So, excited by the notion of getting 'free food' I opened the first box... baby formula and baby food. Drano and liquid soap. There was a sense of sadness that some poor kid might go hungry that night. I donated the baby stuff to a food bank so some good did come out of the event.

Because they are hired by lazy fucks who can’t do their own errands? Just a hunch 😘

No, OP/R3.

I would rather do what I'm fated to do, which is die of starvation in filth thrown onto a dung heap, than spend even a second in your paradise of ease and luxury feeling sad for you because you obviously are missing both legs and cannot walk to your "door" (What is that?) to receive your servant who is delivering treasures about which I could only dream, if the ants had not eaten so much of my eyelids so it is hard for me to sleep.

You are brave! Good luck! Forgive me for not coming to America to make your life the pleasure it should be.

There's a Mexican who does landscaping where I work and he can only say a couple English words. He puts a phrase in his phone and it translates to English and he shows it to me.

I wonder how he functions in the every day world. Or why he doesn't constantly study to get better at communicating.

I'm starting to believe most people on the planet are barely functional.

You type fat, OP.

Why are straight Amazon Fresh me so stupid?

Nothing is more attractive nor compelling than a prissy lazy gay man shrieking about bad service.

They don't want to bring it all the way to your door, dummy. They are used to being able to leave the groceries in a common area. You then go fetch them yourself. This is standard practice, to be honest.

They can probably detect your complete contempt for them and respond accordingly.

Your neighbors may not like you giving out the building code

R23 You may have saved a baby’s life. The formula did bot get mixed up with the Drāno, thanks to you!

I posted in another thread how these idiot delivery people leave bags of groceries on the front lawn of the apartment building where I work. Despite that these tenants specifically put in the directions to come inside the lobby and leave them on the designated tables set up in the lobby.

R33 maybe the Drano was FOR the baby

Faggot

R26 why doesn't the guy who spends most of his time doing hard labor to survive just study super hard for thousands of hours to become fluent? i don't know, he must just be really stupid and a big time slacker. i'm sorry you have to go through that. i hope you don't have to crane your neck to see the phone screen. you should probably file a complaint

I tried Amazon Fresh again this week after a major fail last summer and they were a repeat of gross. The pepper I ordered had actual mold on them, the raw chicken I ordered had clearly gone bad and had an extremely strong smell, two cans must have been thrown against a wall before packing based on how crushed they were and then I believe they were repeatedly thrown and smashed on the bag of tortilla chips they were on top of.

Last summer the entire grocery order had been left in the direct sun rather than in the shade a mere 5 inches away. I grabbed it right away however. Despite that, I had ordered roast beef which you could smell was bad just from picking up the grocery bag. I was convinced the tip I left had not been enough and they were mad and did it on purpose. I think I left the standard $10 in and planned to increase it after the fact- changed my mind. This time I left a $30 tip, didn't matter, food was spoiled still, food packed badly (cans and pasta sauce on top of chips and bread). Its just all passive aggressiveness. I am done with them.

Or maybe he’s fluent in English and thinks that he can fuck over the lazy maricon who won’t lift a finger to learn some useful Spanish.

OP, what high-paying job do you have that allows you to have groceries delivered EVERY FUCKING WEEK?

r40 types poor

R26 types racist

Girls! Girls!

YOU'RE

ALL

FAT

CUNTS

FROM

HELL

All Amazon delivery people in NYC look as though they were recruited out of homeless shelters. They cannot speak intelligibly either.

R26, how is someone working in a labor-intensive job like landscaping supposed to study "constantly"? English is an infamously difficult language to get a good handle on due to its verb irregularities and grammatical quirks. FFS, have some compassion.

[quote] They don't want to bring it all the way to your door, dummy. They are used to being able to leave the groceries in a common area. You then go fetch them yourself. This is standard practice, to be honest.

No it actually isn't, so shut the fuck up about something you clearly know nothing about.

OP Why do you expect so much?

[quote] Your neighbors may not like you giving out the building code

There's no building code. Each apartment has their own buzzer which is accessed by a code. Then we can choose to let them in or not.

That's a good question, R47. I suppose I look at how I do things and expect the same in others.

Yes, I know this is futile.

Actually it is standard practice, R46.

Now you know.

[quote] Actually it is standard practice, [R46].

I've been using them on and off since 2016 and no, it isn't. Not for Amazon Fresh, not for Fresh Direct, not for Instacart, nor any other delivery service. You don't know what you're talking about.

R49 Trying to pass a domineering point of view off as just having high expectations is manipulative

OP you’re a dipshit. If you live in an apartment building they are not coming to your door.

What’s your hypothesis for why you were left high and dry, dummy?

Now go fetch your groceries before the bodega closes.

Oh wait, OP thinks the instacart guy can’t operate his buzzer intercom. Lol

Yeah, the joke is on you, OP.

R49 More than two years ago I ran out of my apartment barefoot, down the stairs and outside onto the sidewalk—in the snow—chasing a fresh direct delivery truck because yet again they had rung my buzzer, left my groceries outside the exterior door of the building, and driven away. Unfortunately my husband was home, witnessed my behavior, and was appropriately horrified. He asked me to start therapy up again and I did for about 6 months.

Delivery people are going to be delivery people. You’re the one that needs to change how you react, OP.

Not once in my life has any Amazon Fresh delivery person ever found his way to my door.

Don’t even get me started on Uber drivers who can’t drive to the pick up/drop off dot on the GPS…

[quote] OP, what high-paying job do you have that allows you to have groceries delivered EVERY FUCKING WEEK?

I'm not OP, and am not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I get one, and sometimes TWO orders a week.

I also use Instacart, where I paid $99 for a year of membership, and most of the fees involved with an order are then waived. (It's so insanely cost effective this way.....can't imagine anyone doing Instacart and not doing it as it would cost so, so much more.) So I pay for my items, a small processing fee and the tip.

My pussy stinks.

For YOU cunts, I'll deliver.

Americans are lazy, entitled nitwits. How many of you say "I don't give AF they don't pay me enough" every waking day of your lazy, entitled lives as you say screw it to something you're supposed to do?

r60 Who isn’t a lazy, entitled nitwit?

R61. Know that R60 at least does his own shopping. I, too, wonder, how feckin’ hard can it be?

R40 If one takes time to find well-priced and sale items, and cuts out impulse purchases by ordering online, one can con oneself into believing one is saving money by having groceries delivered.

Dumb. Just don’t eat.
