we don't store where you live, but we furnish the delivery contractor with all your other personal interests and bio-information so that they can dispatch a hyper-efficient modified hunter killer that rapidly seeks you out based solely on your unique, unforgeable personal vibes

sometimes you can see the couriers' dark angular forms congregating at the charging stations at highway interchanges, sipping the ethernet for your trail before diving back into the maintenance tunnels

Reminds me of my attempt to return a debit card a delivery driver accidentally dropped while carrying in my groceries. The customer service outsourced schmuck said "we can't help you contact this person for privacy reasons"

WTF mate, they were AT MY PHYSICAL HOUSE. Tell them to knock at the ADDRESS THEY WERE ALREADY AT PREVIOUSLY and we'd have been golden.

godddd, im tired of everyone reading rules to the letter instead of to any helpful extent

It definitely didn't help that, judging by the names, these guys were probably in India - so what would they know about how those rules would interact with social expectations over here? They're probably not paid enough to care either. It's a system designed to tick a box and say "look, we have customer service, technically." To handle the kind of complaints that can be easily fixed by a refund or coupon, at the minimum corporate ledger cost. Just putting them and me into a dumb situation because the system isn't designed to accommodate humans, only arbitrary rules.
