Amazon's answer to delivery driver shortage: Pot smokers

The e-commerce giant is advising truck fleet operators to advertise they don’t screen for marijuana use, saying it will boost the number of candidates.

I thought after watching some of these amazon drivers they already stopped testing!

What a great decision! I'm sure that safety and efficiency will improve!

 

[Ingomike]

Just deliver the damn packages...

Note to self; stop ordering munchies from Amazon; they are less likely to arrive now.

 

[drillsgt]

They have a hard enough time delivering to the right houses in my neighborhood as it is.

This plan is idiot proof.
They're idiots and they'll prove it.
About a month ago, one of the aforementioned Rhode scholars couldn't dodge this giant, suicidal bolder in my front yard as it threw itself into the path of his truck while leaving.
Yep, potheads are the answer.

I don't see how it could be any worse.


Personally I have know many pot smokers who knew how to maintain a normal life and smoke on off hours. So perhaps I'm looking through the wrong lens.

A couple years ago I had a guy dona three point turn around in my driveway which causes him to drive his car entirely into my yard.

When I worked construction it was very common for guys to smoke. If we'd have had to pass a drug screen one day, out of 18-ish of us they'd have had me and two others left. Union tradesman were tested, but not us.

Yep. I did drywall in high school with my brother. Smelled it every day. Never knew what it was until he told me. I figured work was already slow and boring, why the hell would I wanna do something that makes me tired and lazy and make the day take even longer

That's what the acid is for!

Is that still a thing? Never seen it, figured it was a 70s thing that died out, but then again, I don’t hang out with people who would have it lol

I'm sure it's still a thing. I know it was still around in the early 80's. I'm too old for that ****.

I already have a bad enough imagination. If it came to life by hallucinating, I’d be like one of those “Florida man” news stories you read about.

If one of my children was struck by an Amazon truck when the driver was under the influence, I'd own Jeff Bezos and his company.

Any settlement wouldn't be a drop in the bucket to him. Amazon has a net worth over $1.6 Trillion. Their profit last years was over $21 Billion.

Testing when hiring has nothing to do with them being under the influence while driving.

I didn’t know Rand Paul was “experienced”.

He does bear a striking resemblance! I hadn't noticed it before! If the congress critters are doing acid, they're doing it wrong. Things should be much mellower, man.

It makes occasional resurgences. It made a run through high school aged kids around Beech Grove resulting in some real shenanigans maybe 9-10 years ago.
