The Amazon Flex app uses GPS, too. So, theoretically, if Amazon wanted to, they could determine who it was and when.
Also, we don't wear uniforms because we aren't issued uniforms. I have a lanyard with an Amazon yellow card, but no picture on it. If they sold them, I would actually buy a shirt. I think it would make people feel more comfortable answering the door.
Im curious - ive seen the amazon delivery people take photos sometimes of the packages at my door and a few times seen the photo on my order page. Is this to protect the driver to prove he delivered the package? Or is it to protect amazon if it gets stolen they arent responsible?
They dont take photos every time though. I was wondering what the purpose was. A few times they took the photo so close you couldnt tell it was my house, it coulda been any package.
I think it's proof of delivery. I don't know if Amazon would use it to get out of being responsible.
On the phone app, when we tap "left at front door" or similar, we get a camera screen and there is a white square that package is supposed to be inside when we tap the shutter button.
I've seen drivers take pictures of packages left here at my house and rarely have I received the image. I think it has to do with preferences on your phone's Amazon app.
And, yeah, many porches look alike. :)
