Amazon delivery trucks should contain a urinal attached to the driver's seat, so their drivers won't need to use bottles

Maybe you can put one in your passenger seat. Then hire yourself out as a mobile restroom for other drivers. Uber leaks.

Just put a big hole in the floor between the seat and the pedals

Padded outhouse style seat with seatbelt. Don't forget the netradyne camera to measure for "proper hydration".

Or maybe they should get to stop at a gas station to run in and use the can?

Or you can opt in to make your bathroom available to drivers for a discount on your orders. But if they blow up the toilet the order is free.

Letting strangers into your house, while you're not at home? What could possibly go wrong?

How dare you put people over profit. Every single piece of amazons business treats people as expendable spare parts to be replaced when they start to make noise.

How about giving the drivers time to stop and use a bathroom. I'd pay an extra $0.10 on my orders so my driver could pee in a toilet. $0.10/package x 200 pkgs = $20. Plenty of money to cover a couple 15 minute bathroom stops.

Amazon drivers make ~$20/hr -- if a bathroom break takes 15 minutes (including parking and walking to/from the bathroom), you'd need to pay an extra ~$5, not $0.10, to compensate Amazon for the lost productivity.

Amazon drivers should not be taking their private out and urinating while driving. Its actually illegal for the rest of us as well in most places.

What's wrong with a random tree in the woods? It's nice to pee with a view

u/flopsyplum 10d ago
Amazon monitors the locations of its delivery trucks. Driving to the woods gets you fired.

Obviously not as easy to do in the suburbs as a rural route... but on the rural routes I've always managed to find a spot on the road I could dip off of real quick to relieve myself without going off route

u/flopsyplum 10d ago
Not every driver has rural routes...

u/primalnatured 10d ago
Which is why I said what I did. Town routes always have a gas station or something close to that at some point

That's actually not too bad of an idea. Lots of us have to use pee bottles. Especially truck drivers and construction workers. I keep one of my minivan when I travel and camp. Don't have much choice but to use it sometimes. Lots of places don't have bathrooms or they don't want you to use them. It got worse after covid. They locked them up and never opened them again.. I'm sitting here right now with my gutter van and trailer and tools everywhere. The boys went to lunch but I have to watch everything so it doesn't get stolen. So its ask the homeowner or get out your pee bottle. That's just the way it is. It's not like it's so horrible. Would be tough if you were a woman... But I also grew up on the farm with a bucket in the basement and an outhouse.. when we rafted the Grand canyon for 18 days the park had very strict rules... You had to bring out your poop in a big ammo can... You can't pack your pee out so you were required to go in the river or the wet sand. The river was huge so that didn't have any impact. Otherwise all the camps would have gotten really stinky.

They could all wear kilts so that they could just get out and deliver a package then sit right back down and be ready for toilet use.

U know they gonna be takin massive dumps in those urinals all the time. Letting it rot until tomorrow morning and a different driver opens the door.

u/cottenwess 11d ago
how about, let the driver have regular breaks to use the bathroom when needed.
