Amazon driver caught pooping and peeing on customers' property: 'We're deeply disturbed'
Everyone does it. Just not in public.
In two separate incidents reported to KTLA-TV, surveillance video captured a driver who was delivering Amazon packages pooping and peeing on the property of two Los Angeles homes on Mothers Day.
Video submitted by one of the residents showed a driver wearing a blue Amazon vest and purple shorts walk up to the front porch of a home on Sunday morning, May 11. The video, shot in the city's Woodland Hills neighborhood, shows the driver descend the stairs as they pulled their shorts up, the outlet reported.
Feces was found on the porch next to a wet substance, KTLA reported.
"My husband went downstairs and was not only greeted by one package, but a second, inappropriate disgusting package which was essentially like human feces and looked to be urination," resident Tamara Bedoy told the outlet. "You can see the mess that she left."
A separate video shot that same day at 6:06 a.m. and later submitted to KTLA appears to show the same person urinating by a wood gate outside a resident's home.
Amazon: 'We're deeply disturbed'
On May 13, Amazon told Paste BN the employee was removed from their role.
"We’re deeply disturbed by the unacceptable behavior of this delivery driver and apologize to the customers involved," the company released in a statement. "We immediately identified the driver and they are no longer delivering."
Amazon did not identify the driver.
Many drivers who deliver Amazon packages don't work directly for the company. The driver involved, according to the company, was an independent contractor through Amazon's FLEX program.
