Inspired in part by the brilliant Ken Loach film Sorry We Missed You.
Bathroom breaks for delivery drivers have been a controversial issue for some time. I’m sure Amazon would never go for this for all sorts of reasons, but if they did, I wonder how many users would offer use of their bathroom…
The bathroom issue stuck with me because it is such a basic human right. In Sorry We Missed You, the drivers are almost slaves to the device that sends them from house to house, and the customer sees none of it. They see someone drop off a parcel, not the day behind it. Amazon would never do this, and it would never be commercially acceptable, but that isn’t the point of the exercise. The point is to put that side of the job in front of the customer, and satirise it a little.
