The moral of the story is that sometimes it's just 1 idiot, not the entire corp. at fault.

Driver couldnt find her street..........
I believe the issue is that the drivers are normally subcontacters - they're given X parcels to deliver. Whether it takes them an hour or a day, they're paid the same.

So not delivering them at all, and just leaving slips is a great way around to finishing work at noon.
