A Cuban delivery driver in the United States, employed by Amazon, issued a warning on social media this Tuesday about the dangers of transporting children while making deliveries.
Fernando (@fernalopez83) posted a video on TikTok warning that this practice is dangerous and urged his colleagues to avoid exposing minors to unnecessary risky situations.
"If you don't have someone to look after your child, please don't go to Amazon with your child in the car," the young man emphasized, noting that, in addition to being abusive, this practice can have serious consequences for both the children and the delivery driver.
He pointed out that the delivery workers have no control over the areas to which they are assigned, whether it be houses or apartments, which increases uncertainty and risks.
The Cuban warned that if a customer sees a delivery driver leaving a child in the vehicle while making a delivery, they could report it to the company: "The least that will happen is that your account will be closed," he stated.
He also highlighted the dangers that delivery workers face on a daily basis, ranging from accidents to unforeseen incidents, risks that are amplified when a child is involved in these activities.
"It’s not the same to walk alone as it is to walk with a child," she emphasized, criticizing that some people leave minors locked in the car with a cellphone while they complete deliveries, sometimes taking more than five minutes.
The delivery person also emphasized that Amazon offers flexible schedules that allow workers to adjust their hours according to their needs.
For this reason, she deemed it unnecessary and irresponsible to expose children to these circumstances when there are options to organize work time.
Recently, another Cuban Amazon delivery driver went viral on social media by arriving at customers' doors in a rhythmic delivery style.
His enthusiasm and unique approach to his work have generated thousands of reactions and comments, going viral on TikTok. He has received messages like: "The yumas aren't ready for us," "This is how you work best," "No wonder I woke up today with my order," "We're the only ones who do everything while dancing, always happy," and "We, the Cubans, are the best."
The star of this charming moment is @anthony_vila_, who shares his adventures as an Amazon delivery driver on his TikTok profile.
