even the name is too much imo, when i delivered pizza some places had their system like this, i don't like strangers knowing that. it's too personal.
the picture is really, really too far. only the most utter HOA boomer could even potentially spin needing to know that. and you can of course imagine the issues with it.
I deliver for Amazon Flex. Although I don't appreciate having my name and face put out there, the real problem I have with this is showing people exactly where I'm at on a map. Like yes, the person with dozens of packages in their car is right here if you want to go rob them or try to take something while we are at a house or in a store or something. Makes you feel like a loot piñata.
Also, it says X stops away, but we are contractors, so we can leave the route for whatever reason we deem necessary. Eat lunch, pick up kid, whatever. So I feel it puts an unreasonable expectation that "my package will definitely be here in Y minutes"
Just my 2 cents anyways.
All Amazon drivers are contracted, check out Amazon DSP. We also use the Flex app. Your location, even as a Flex driver, is on a delay. Unless you are having to take 10+ minutes at a stop, it will never reveal your current location. Even my DSP couldn’t get my exact location until I had been stationary for some time.

Yo that last bit is messed up. I can't even imagine working and having to grab my kiddo knowing people are watching me get to them. That seems so damn stressful for you guys. Even me as a consumer is annoyed by that. I'm the guy who would count down stops if I had to wait for super long as the "next stop" I'd get super annoyed. Not that any of it would be the drivers fault since that's their job and it's being made significantly more stressful almost as if to manipulate you into working more.
Knowing this I'll know if it ever comes to my area to be significantly more understanding. Thank you for the perspective of that side.
This is good insight, thank you for sharing.
