I'm surprised bathrooms inside of the delivery trucks aren't a thing yet. It's difficult to even find a washroom at times so it would make their life easier.

It would be a small but very useful step in mitigating some bad effects within a society that needs to be entirely rebuilt.

Why not hire more employees/drivers with all those billions in revenue? wtf

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 4 points 11 months ago

Because that costs money

Brief Relief is a thing. Amazon should 100% be stocking their trucks with them.

Why is the solution "shit in a bucket" and not "hire more drivers, and make better routes"

[–] DrDominate@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Because they won't and no one will force them to do so.

It’s A solution, not THE solution. I didn’t tell anyone to “shit in a bucket”, don’t put words in my mouth.

I work in an industry where I have a cube truck as a mobile office. I use Brief Reliefs every day.
