A purported Amazon driver claims he was sent home by his supervisor for using a gas station bathroom while on the clock.
“I got my packages, I got my van, I’m about to start my route,” the driver says in the video posted on Friday.
“But I stop at the gas station.My stomach was hurting, I really had to use the bathroom — I used the gas station bathroom.”
The driver claims that his supervisor was waiting for him as he exited the gas station bathroom.
“What’s going on? What’s up? How you doin’?” he reportedly asked his supervisor.
“Go home,” the supervisor is alleged to have told him.
“Why are you wasting time there? You’re on the clock.”
The driver told the supervisor that he needed to defecate. When asked why he didn’t go to the bathroom back at the warehouse, the driver told the supervisor: “I didn’t have to s–t then.”
Amazon, the e-commerce retail behemoth whose market capitalization is valued at $1.28 trillion, has been accused of imposing a demanding work culture in which employees are pressured to meet quotas — so much so that they urinate in bottles and defecate in bags while driving.
