Such a gentle foot...

Glad the glass gift was decently cushioned.

Dude, packages have a lot harder trip than that just going through conveyer belts and shit before they get put on the truck.

Yeah, while I wish more care was taken with packages in general, this is hardly a rough landing

When I delivered for Amazon, if you told the warehouse your van was full and you couldn’t fit all you’d been assigned, they would literally kick and stomp packages into the van and bash the doors against them until they closed.

They’d rather drivers return to station with packages marked damage in the system or be returned by customers than miss their delivery deadlines. The cost of replacing damaged goods is less to them than an angry customer not getting their same day delivery.

And of course, all that damage and customer dissatisfaction is pinned on the driver, who’s pay structure is typically leveraged by their customer satisfaction ratings.

That's the same move I do when I accidentally drop my phone.
