‘And you ain’t putting no snacks out there? B***h,’ she scathed. ‘Y’all got a bond now. You see each other every day, and you ain’t leaving no snacks? You’re wrong.’
Aniya’s 19-second clip – which got more than 284,000 views – launched a massive quarrel between online users, some of whom agreed with her and others who argued that it’s their job and they don’t deserve an extra reward for it.
‘I don’t gotta put snacks for nobody. Bring my package. Thank you,’ one person wrote.
‘So if it’s a bond why don’t you bring me snacks instead since you already driving?’ another asked.
Someone else said: ‘You think seeing someone everyday means you need to give them snacks? I see people at work every day nobody gives me snacks either.’
‘No ma’am, your wrong, we don’t have to leave any snacks,’ a fourth comment read, while a fifth said, ‘You’re getting pay for that, go to the store and [buy] your own snacks.’
‘Should I put out a blanket and nap pad as well? You get paid to deliver,’ different user added.
‘So…. Now the Amazon drivers are shaking us down for hand outs. It is just another form of wanting a tip,’ someone else commented.
