I would need to see it happen a few times to really get the concept. Phones in trees. Better than Snakes on a plane, I guess.
Go to Whole Foods and check the trees.
Snag the phone(s) you want and get them unlocked at a local shop.
Amazon tracks the gps on the phones of the couriers. The ones closest to the Whole Foods when an order comes in will get the job. Some couriers don’t want to.wait near the Whole Foods all day so they hang a phone with the courier app in a tree near the store, then when an order comes in the phone in the tree forwards the order to their real phone
They are trying to game the system.
That sounds like a great tree to pick free phones from.
How to cheat when they use location-based tracking to determine who to give the next job to.
hanging is racist.
The real story is if you want a free cell phone, go look at the trees near Whole Foods.
Truth Justice and the old American Way sucks man.
Cheat, because that’s where the moneys at.
I wonder if they’re using a noose to hang the phones in the trees?
The hidden truth is that man’s technology and heinous environmental impacts has so perverted nature that trees have mutated to grow phone fruit.
Hope they’re not using lanyards to hang them with...those who see guns in Pop-Tarts also see nooses in anything resembling a loop...
We are not a big town(four nearby, next door towns also, none super large) yet, on my street and other streets Amazon trucks are ubiquitous, much more numerous than UPS or Fedex trucks. Twice last week we had two Amazon trucks on our little street, at the same time. The second time, as the two trucks departed, a third one was heading up an adjoining street heading our way.
Starbucks had a similar problem in NYC some years back, long before the pandemic. Starbucks was having frequent turn over of its store managers. Starbucks locations were so ubiquitous that at times some were less than a two blocks from each other. But part of the store managers pay is commission, and the managers saw their commissions were hurt by how much the stores were competing with each other more than competing with other coffee house brands.
But it all fits with Amazon’s real intentions. Once their fleet reaches a certain critical mass they plan on going into direct competition with Fedex and UPS for all the non-Amazon delivery business they do.
