This is “The Site” one of the most entertaining things that have had the privilege of viewing in quite some time. I have just been watching a delivery driver using a robot arm to unload items for “The Site” and do it with such precision that I believe that they may be able to perform surgery utilising a robotic arm - just fabulous!

The needs to do better, but there is much greater harm happening behind the scenes. Consider . There were 83 workplace fatalities for “drivers/sales workers” in 2019. 23 were homicide/suicide, but the other 60 were not.

So Ocado sent me a questionnaire rating my recent . Any company using delivery folks - ANY - will find they their drivers are the absolute best at everything, I could never have dreamed of receiving such wonderful service, etc. The actual experience doesn’t matter. Any attempt to control/evaluate/pressure these people who have a hard, stressful, underpaid job must be sabotaged to the best of our ability.
