Could be because they can make life easier for you if they know, or just fun

I've been driving for Amazon for a few weeks now and here's what I got

  • We only see delivery instructions once we park by your building, so telling us which streets/gates to use on the way is useless.

  • Also, we lose access to them once we finish the delivery (basically right after we leave the package on your doorstep) so if you for some inexplicable reason have an INTERNALLY locked gate, have the code/button somewhere clearly visible because otherwise we can get stuck (like i was for a bit yesterday)

  • All that said, you can really make them useful by being clear and specific about things. If the keypad to open the gate is hidden behind some shrubbery, let us know. If it's a confusingly laid out apartment complex, tell us which way to turn as we exit the elevator because you could be the only person with delivery on that floor and we don't want to waste time walking to the wrong end of the building

      I know it isn't your fault, but grading is some artificial scarcity bullshit. You know what happens when a doctor can't remember something? They go to the offive where they keep all the reference books and look it up. Life can be just that easy. It sucks that it falls on you to li e with the contradiction

        90% of everything that I made "good grades" on during public education because I remembered it at the time, I have forgotten as an adult.

        I really wish that assignments in classes could be split between wrote memorization and "do you know which process should be used and where to find the details of the process".

          rote

          sorry for correcting but I think this helps avoid a confusion that it requires writing, instead of repetition

            points

            Exactly, I use the term so infrequently that I'm not gonna use the right word but I guarantee you that at some point in middle school I got an A+ with a smiley face sticker because I got it right on a pop quiz.
