Amazon Delivery DriverFired For Going The Extra Yard
TMZ ^ | June 24, 2026 | staff

Posted on 06/28/2026 5:51:24 PM PDT by xxqqzz

This Amazon delivery wasn't exactly Prime service ... unless driving over a customer's neatly manicured front lawn is now part of the membership perks.

Footage out of Corydon, Indiana, shows an Amazon delivery driver completely bypassing the driveway and instead taking a direct route straight across a freshly cut lawn to the front porch, leaving huge tire tracks carved through the well-manicured grass.

What's even wilder is how unfazed the driver appears -- casually hopping out, dropping off the package at the front door, then reversing right back across the lawn like it's no big deal.

The homeowners say they were stunned when they reviewed their security footage and discovered exactly what caused the damage.

Amazon spokesperson Leigh Anne Gullett tells TMZ ... "We hold delivery partners to high standards, and the actions shown in this video are clearly unacceptable. We've connected with the customer to make things right, and the delivery partner is no longer delivering Amazon packages."

Any landscaping services hiring?!?

Did you watch the video?

Of course I did, a couple of weeks ago.

How would you feel if that was your lawn?

Dude(ette?), it's grass. No ones world ended. As I said, one week later, what damage? It's grass. It grows back. It's not like she went plowing through the yard with a D9 CAT.

What possible justification could there be for not using the driveway?

None. As I said, "It was lazy and disrespectful but damaging?"

OMG, there's tire tracks on the lawn, what will the neighbors think?

I guess me and you are n the only ones who think a lawn is some kind of forbidden zone.

that was supposed to say you and me don’t think a lawn is a forbidden zone. Grass will grow right back.

Amazon forces their drivers and contract companies to cut corners to meet quotas that often compromise safety.

The delivery schedule has no built in time to use a bathroom. You have to somehow make up that time (guess how).

Getting forced to take on extra deliveries for slower coworkers (DEI hires?) after finishing your own route.

Lack of sick days.
