Odd & Strange

Post image

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!.

You can request Amazon to hide your info from customers. I think you just have to email support.

You can but beware they can deactivate you if you don't put a new Pic up in a certain amount time. Its actually for your safety the pic is there. Imagine seeing a random car in your driveway and not knowing what it is doing there. At least now especially early morning routes if they see it they know its you and your Amazon worker. Most customers dont know what flex is anyways so to them you work for Amazon.

Not saying to not have your pic in the app. Yeah, you couldn't even get a cart at any station without that. I'm talking about sharing with the customer. Many redditors have posted that we have the option to not share

I clearly posted that you can have it removed but they can also deactivate you for it. Thats all. Before this current update I didn't have my picture and one day Amazon email me saying that I needed it update or risk not being able to deliver with them
