I'd sue the property/homeowner and Amazon.
"They should not complete delivery if they feel unsafe. " But what happens after they report safety issues? Stop acting like they will not get penalized.
Learn how to identify. Learn. Read a book. Educate. Don't assume all snakes are dangerous. learn
. What's the phobia of learning??????
Komodo dragon
The owner probably told them "don't worry he doesn't bite"
Snakes are evil. Amazon ??
Where are the missing children from Hawaii?
We Amazon Drivers stand together we wish you the best and a full recovery 💙
Wow God Bless the driver and full revcovery please
I'm sure the snake wasn't lying on the sidewalk leading up to the house. It was probably behind one of the pillars and got startled with her dropping off the package. CLEARLY, Amazons non human response, shows why employees need the protections of Unions. Don't think a corporation gives two sh_ts about you. It's so bad they only offer the ''thoughts'' and not even the ''prayers'' anymore.
Now just be careful did she just started with Amazon worker just remembered that people live with them and other things and snacks no how to bend in with every thing and the color of the snake to now people are going to do more training what to look for in Florida and other places
Porch viper.
Will she survive?
these corporations don’t care because they know that people need jobs to survive in this rigged system they’ve created ….
Shut up, A"mazon! It's not as if the driver saw the snake first and said to themselves "oh, look, a rattlesnake, well, I've got to deliver, anyway…….I don't feel unsafe at all with THAT there"! Make sure you resend that memo around! NO Amazon delivery person safe, anywhere!
🙏Matthew 24:3-26 KJV
3 And as he (Jesus) sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Jesus is appearing soon for the Church! Titus 2:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Revelation 3:10, Romans 5:9 etc.❤
Or…..move…..
I hate walking in Florida. And its getting worse. Thank God the driver got help. Thats a lot of poison.
I don't care if you work for Amazon. Don't deliver no snake skin boots around here buddy
Wow…what a very insensitive response from Amazon. SMH
Sooo…its her fault??!! 😠
Clearly Amazon has no compassion for their employees
SMH
I’ll sue Amazon if I can
Amazon is going to blame the critical conditioned driver so as not to pay out. "Leave the snakes alone the lady says. Well I'm pretty sure the driver wasn't going to pet it.
Here’s a bit of snake safety advice, don’t wear earbuds or AirPods or whatever when outside in an environment where rattlesnakes are potentially present because as a general rule they don’t want to bite people and waste their venom on something that they can’t possibly eat, so audible sound is the snake’s warning sign that you are too close for their comfort and if you hear that rattle sound slowly reverse course but if you can’t hear the rattle sound because of listening to music then it is your fault. I’m not saying that is what happened here this time but it does happen often. Other types of venomous snakes are also present in the state and they don’t all have audible warnings so keep your eyes open as well. There’s also a few good very distinct ways to tell if a snake is venomous or not and one is the eyes because Venomous Snakes have Cat Like Pupils where non-venomous snakes have round pupils and the other big one is an arrowhead or triangular shaped head always means venomous because right behind the jaws sticks out because the glands that produce venom so between the pupils being round or cat eyed and triangular or arrowhead shaped head you can identify any venomous snake in the country. However non venomous snakes like a python still have a horrific bite with a mouthful of rearward facing teeth that break off when they bite prey
I HATE snakes !
most poisonous snakes I've come across in florida will stand their ground , as oppose to the non venemous types which will avoid you , my area has a lot ot black racers , known for eating rattlesnakes & other venemous snakes .
