    Cool. Maybe if their job is so important, they should be getting paid better.

      I’d imagine not having to work 10+ hours a day in what is functionally a mobile oven would also be helpful.

        Not only that but almost every delivery driver I see is always kinda skipping or trotting when delivering packages just to keep up.

        They either need to increase the workforce on their routes too. Same thing for the USPS in many places while not relying on part time ‘contractors’ who are just mailmen but not yet because they don’t want to pay benefits lol.

        Imagine the company putting cameras in the mobile ovens before air conditioning.

      We proudly pay our employees a (1950s) liveable wage. They just need to stop wasting money on non-essentials like food, housing, and student debt.
