FTFA: "There's your boxes. Since you want to sit there and look at me," says the FedEx driver.

Customers don't have to help you with your job. If they do, that's great. If they don't, you have no right to get mad at them.

vudukungfu: I couldn't understand what she was saying


Her job was hard and it was cold and the customer wasn't helping her so she got frustrated enough to say something considered "unladylike".

So the person filming is getting something delivered, the driver is having a hard time, and instead of helping, she pulls out her phone and starts recording.  What a country.

I agree, we're a nation of a-holes.

But it's not illegal to be an a-hole and as of 2023, I'm pretty sure it's preferred, somehow.

I would have helped but even if we didn't, she can't be all hate'y about it.

I've paid for the package.  I've paid for the shipping.  Now you want me to schlep the box up to my house?  She should have just done her damn job and biatched in her truck afterwards.

Plenty of casual work opportunities in this roaring economy, right?
Walk your mouth right on over to Uber or Lyft.

According to "journalists" today, THAT is what constitutes "news"

Plus, I'll bet some words were exchanged BEFORE the video started, which
means who knows what happened...but, people only believe what they see.

It sounds like the driver went up to the house and asked the person recording if they could move the car in the driveway to make delivering the large, heavy, awkward box easier to deliver.

How do you get "go back to your country" from delivering a package to their actual house?

Does the FedEx driver own a house?  If not, is she a stateless person?

And why would anybody move from another country to Wichita, Kansas?

I don't think she actually knows how to gather her thoughts at all.

There is a world of difference between Fed Ex drivers and Fed Ex ground drivers. Fed Ex drivers work for Fed Ex. Ground drivers work for independent contractors. One is thoroughly vetted and the other's main qualification is can you drive this truck.

Nobody deserves xenophobia.  As nut says, that is just white knighting the racism and racist excuses ("I was tired", "I was on meds", "I was frustrated", etc)... plenty of people have all those issues, and don't have racist things fall out of their mouths, because they aren't racists to begin with.

When the pandemic lockdown hit, I lost my lease signing for a Brooklyn apartment. I was trapped on Long Island. My only respite was a daily, monotonous walk around a quarter-mile block. One day, a woman pulled over and practically mounted the curb. She actually said, "Go back to where you came!" My first reaction was, "Diagram that sentence." My second was the question, "Queens?! I'd love to go there right now." I walked on because I couldn't even.

True.  But when I was at a retail job a while back, it was annoying when I had bagged a lot of items, and my register area was overflowing, and the customer would just stand there and not put their bagged items back in their cart.

Would the driver have been fired for swearing at and calling the lady an asshole?  Probably as well.  But they wouldn't have also been seen as xenophobic/racist.
