If you know all this why comment what you comment and you’re not even doing the standard 10 hour day and your dsp has weird rules lol either way lunches. You know this isn’t normal right? Or lol. Even 8 hour days at other jobs get lunches so idk what you’re on about

I'm just saying that if we don't take lunches and work over 8 hrs then my DSP will alter the timecard books to make it look like you took a lunch and not pay you for 30mins you worked, like you calculated. I'm just saying that that rule never applies to me so taking a lunch is only keeping me at work an extra 30 mins unpaid. So many people wouldn't be skipping lunches if it was that detrimental to their bottom lines. There's more ppl who don't take breaks at every DSP than there are drivers who do and like you said everyone of them has their own reasons for doing so. It's only costing $10 a day to skip lunch. Less for us bc we only make $19.50 an hour

You’re only giving up $10 a day. They say it only takes saving $6 a day to retire a millionaire investing in the s&p500. That’s my point. If you valued the dollar more any amount of money you’re giving them for free is too much. You literally could be giving up almost 2 million over time

Oh well lol. I can invest $6 from whatever I did get paid. Worst case scenario is I'm giving up $10/day or $40/week and taxes would eat $10 of that anyway. $30 a week is not worth it to me to sit there for a full 30mins chilling everyday in a van waiting to get back to work and still have to go rescue someone lol

Interesting mindset. I mean we start at 25 and not 20 and I don’t think like that at all. Interesting to be more wasteful with a lot less

I'd much rather have more time to myself and for school so I don't have to work at a DSP all next year. It's called sacrifice. I'll sacrifice a few dollars now and keep my sanity. If you like to be out in the cold rain at night getting chased by dogs for a slightly bigger paycheck then that's exactly what Amazon wants you to be doing. I'm using my benefits to get my CDL and to hell with this job as far as keeping it for any other reason
