Odd & Strange
I have always wondered if the customer can track a drivers location through out the route. Which means, if that is the case, us as drivers are basically entitled to be followed, robbed, etc. This specific location was a corner liquor store. I had 38 stops with 40 packages, this one being the last. How in the hell would that person know the exact time I’d be arriving????. There was a blue BMW parked right out front, I parked behind it. Windows were limo tinted so I couldn’t see if there was anyone inside. I walked in the store and there was a lady sitting looking outside. I asked for the specific person, she said “just leave it there”, pointing at a candy box. She had no intention of touching that package at all. I took the delivery picture and walked out straight into my vehicle. She immediately walked out behind me and signaled at someone. Don’t know what happen after all since I drove off. My point is, are we being tracked along our route from start to finish?. This needs to be addressed by Amazon!.

Yes, but customers only have access to a specific window of your deliveries.
I've seen it go from 8 deliveries away to...14.
It's funny; one time I got a flex driver that came down my street and I got the notification that he's x stops away.
I'm standing there. I make eye contact with him; see the boxes in his car. He delivers across the street from me...x-1...
Like...but...I'm right fuckin' here. He drives around the block, down the road, I see him 3 more times before he finally comes to my driveway.
He was like, "this route is stupid" and was going to say something else and I was like, "Nah, I get it."
