I recall the peeing in bottles narrative to have begun with a story three years ago regarding warehouse workers who allegedly didn't have time to go to the bathroom.[0] So when I saw the tweet about whether to "believe" the peeing in bottles thing, I assumed that the PR person was using an internally approved line of defense about that, and was simply too incompetent to realize that the conversation about delivery drivers is similar but not the same thing.
It seems pretty obvious to me that some Amazon drivers, like other drivers, are going to pee in bottles from time to time. This doesn't seem like a fate worse than death, IMO, at least not for male drivers. But I do think it's a reason why Amazon shouldn't put cameras in its delivery vehicles.
Still, you would think that Amazon could maintain a bathroom depot in its major delivery areas. Maybe even their own gas stations.
