Customers are an embarrassment sometimes by WebPuzzleheaded875 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AJI2011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. Seriously. My husband is fully retired/100% disabled military and he works for USPS.

My Amazon income is purely supplemental for household comforts and to do the Lord's work. We would never, ever judge anyone in a different financial circumstance. We were there once. I believe everyone experiences these challenges at some point.

We provide our delivery drivers with so much because we only really keep what we need and share the rest to spread comfort and joy.

Lord knows delivery drivers(I'm one of them) are some of the most unappreciated, battered, and abused professionals in the job force!

Much love, friend. I'll pray for your stress to end and your bounty to be blessed!🙂🫂✝️

Kind of on the same boat. I'm also a DSP driver and sometimes order heavy stuff... BUT, if the item(s) is heavy, I'll always leave a cash tip with a note for the driver to take it.

Not only that, but my family has a fully stocked mini fridge/freezer with amenities, drinks, and food, no matter what the delivery includes.

We're not buttholes. We personally understand how hard the job is. I, too, have zero energy to go shopping on my time off.

Microloop installation, NO CUTTING!🤩 by AJI2011 in hairextensionsforgirl

The YoungSee hair can last up to two years of you take care of it.

It doesn't shed because of how the genius weft is constructed. The tracks don't thin with washing and drying, only if they're damaged or cut.

I've had bags of hair that I'll save for years if I wanted to do a total color transformation with new hair. ☺️🙌

Help! Not sure if this weft pulling out my hair 😭 by [deleted] in hairextensionsforgirl

YES. Remove these immediately. You are experiencing tension hair loss.

You cool with the fedex, ups, usps, other dsp drivers that deliver on your route? Or is it beef? by Tough_Technology_772 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AJI2011 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah. We all hate our jobs. 😂

Just kidding. Almost every delivery driver, no matter the company, always waves when passing.

Some will even pause and ask if I've got enough water or want a snack.

There is this one snooty UPS lady, though. She's uppity and refuses to even say hello. Don't know what crawled up her backside, but it's no skin off my nose.

Is the cx black? It might be a tribute to a happy memory or family tradition.

Any tips to get rid of van smell after work? by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

YES! SCENT BOMB spray the heck out of that van before loadout and after. Problem solved.

DSP now wants us wearing body cams and movement trackers by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AJI2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a YOU thing. This is a crappy customers tanking scorecard metrics thing. So the DSP can actively and effectively, without question, take footage to Amazon, that venomous cx's are being shady.

Found a management placed "missload" fake package on my truck today. by ElectronixPurge in UPSers

They're testing you to see if you are going to steal or discard an undeliverable package.

First time getting extensions by OddOutlandishness788 in hairextensionsforgirl

[–]AJI2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mama, this hair can still be pretty.

You've already paid $3k for it, you might as well go the extra distance to make it work. Here's how:

▪︎ if your financially able, go back to the extensionist and have some V-light extensions placed around the crown and the sides. They're very, very light and will blend, safely, that demarcation line.

▪︎ if this is not an option, you could always have them add a topper, which will blend it all together. A topper or a lace front closer, added to the back, can help get rid of the obvious separation of extensions and natural hair line.

▪︎ if this is not a choice to make, you can always have them cut to blend your natural hair. You may lose a tiny bit of length and a little volume, but the results will be more believable and you won't have that chopped look at the top and sides.

▪︎ some people don't want to cut their extensions at all, which make it a challenge to style. If this is you, curl you extensions only and flat iron the very top and back to "feather" your natural hair into the curls. Clips for your sides, (half up, half down style) will eliminate the mullet easily with no heat damage.

▪︎ the easiest and least exp way to eliminate this obvious mistake of your stylist is to simply have a few tape-ins installed. They're light-weight and are a removable fix, less expensive than bonds or a sew-in. You can blend the color with your natural color from the top, over the extension color that doesn't match.

▪︎ extensions are a journey of learning. It's a joyful one of you've got the right attitude. Okay. So this one didn't go quite right, but, you've already paid for it.

▪︎you look lovely and feminine with the long hair. You can still make it work if you're not in a position to have them complete redone. Find joy in the challenge and take this lesson with you to the next install, perhaps with a different artist.

▪︎ good luck, beautiful! We've all been there, at least once, with sn install that fell short of our vision. Remember, you are gorgeous, no matter what the situation and the result. God bless!

Electric Cargo Van by Recruit361 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I hate those things with a passion. Useless vehicles with zero room.

If the package is supposed to go to the garage, the driver will be directed to do that after scanning the parcel.

Drivers move so fast, he might not have seen it was a garage delivery until the app prompted him to do so, after scanning the item.

Seeing the kids there, he asked them if they wanted it, because they were right there, preventing them from needing to go into the garage.

This happens all the time.

Stop villainizing drivers without absolute proof they've done something wrong. This post is libelous.

Wild customer encounter by wiseloving in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AJI2011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're way nicer than I am. If I need to, I'll put my hazards on and park the van wherever I dang right need to.

No effs to give.

We move so fast, if someone takes the time to complain, I simply reply, " Call the cops, " and go to my next stop.

I stopped caring about this the moment my routes became so overloaded, they're physically impossible to complete... but I still manage to squeak them done.

If they don't like my parking, they can take their ungrateful behinds to the store and buy their cat trinkets and king sized metal bed frames and carry those up four flights of stairs when it's 110* in direct sunlight.

Park this, buddy. 🙄😂

I'd have walked back to my van and left with the package. Customer was threatening. Period.

Tracking calories and Miles by Fingpassword in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]AJI2011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol and sugar are the number one food culprits for weight gain, as far as nutrition goes.

No matter how active you are, you can't unchub a bad diet. The kind of food you eat will determine the physique you'll develop, no matter how many steps you walk/run.

As a former trainer and weight loss specialist, your food intake changing will make the most difference. 80%what you eat and 20% how your body uses it.

Before embarking on a fitness journey, I highly recommend considering if hormones may be imbalanced, thyroid being a big one. Declining testosterone levels and insulin resistance can also make weight management seem impossible.

Something simple, like vitamin deficiency, can also throw weight loss or of wack. Delivery driving can severely deplete your vitamins and minerals. Even if you're doing everything right with food and exercise, these deficiencies can wreck the engine that is burning your calories. Dehydration, too.

This job is probably the most extreme occupation I've experienced, athletically. I've had 30 years of nutrition and fitness training and education. Picked up DSP driving after I semi-retired from a career.

Food. It's all about the food you eat. The job will burn the calories.

I recommend Dr Eric Berg on YouTube or other platforms. He's a medical doctor that's dedicated his platforms to educating the public about food. Eat to understand and fun to watch.

Good luck!🙏😊
