Wouldn’t it be even more wrong to send drivers to someone who might racially abuse them? Of course that doesn’t excuse the smart home part and they should have done a better investigation
- sowbug 3y agoThoughts are not crimes in free countries. What someone "might" do is irrelevant.
- circuit10 3y agoAmazon thought that the person had already shouted a slur at the driver. They were wrong, but if they had been right blocking further deliveries to protect the drivers would have been reasonable (if it was just that)
- Auracle 3y agoI disagree. It should take something like a police report to block further deliveries. Just taking one delivery driver’s word is ripe for abuse.
- circuit10 3y agoSo Amazon should continue sending people to someone who will racially abuse them just because the police didn’t catch it yet? (again, assuming that they had done the investigation properly which they didn’t in this case, which would involve collecting more evidence to back it up)
- Auracle 3y agoI said a police report, meaning the driver would report it to the police. Not that they'd catch them in the act.
- xdennis 3y ago> someone who might racially abuse them Agreed, but note that "abuse" is the operative word here. It's possible to be racist and not be outwardly hateful, and it's also possible to be non-racist and horribly abusive to staff.
