Perhaps he had to urinate again, and did not have an additional bottle? What then should he have done?
If you'll notice, we're now heading down the path of playing out ever-more-elaborate strategies for individual delivery drivers to maintain homeostasis without offending the delicate sensibilities of the people they serve, instead of questioning why this is a problem in the first place.
- SR2Z 6y agoThe solution to this problem is not "dump a bottle of piss out on someone's lawn," it's "expand labor laws to cover this very obvious human rights issue and then hammer Amazon with it until they shape up." Workers need bathrooms, and employers have to pay for them.
- ahelwer 6y agoWe agree on the best outcome. What should workers do in the meantime?

- whimsicalism 6y ago"And in the mean time, report all violators to Amazon" is the implicitly unsaid thing that people here are disagreeing with, not the obvious statement that labor laws should be expanded and enforced.
- loa_in_ 6y agoLet's not escalate this into imaginary situations. He didn't dump piss on anyone's lawn.
- 8note 6y agoI don't know if it's employers that have to pay for them. Society needs available bathrooms; they don't need to be gated behind employment or being a customer
- jcampbell1 6y agoI used to do apartment maintenance and I considered asking someone to use their bathroom completely unprofessional. I peed in bottles and never thought it a big deal. A simple question, do you always offer water and a restroom to blue collar workers who enter your home? If so, you are in the 1%.
- alistairSH 6y agoOh, I agree. Everybody deserves regular breaks during the workday. People have to eat, drink, pee, etc. Lack of such breaks doesn't, IMO, excuse peeing in my yard.
- ahelwer 6y agoWell, this is where we are. Delivery drivers are being crunched to make deliveries. Having someone pee in your yard just comes with the territory. Don't try to get them fired if they do that. I assure you many dogs pee in your yard any given day.
- whimsicalism 6y agoSo it's the yard now? Even if it was the yard, while that is definitely a dick move, getting a delivery worker fired over it is more of a dick move.
- ectopod 6y agoIt wasn't in anybody's yard, it was in the road. And they didn't pee there, they emptied a bottle.
