Doorbell cams really ruin the whole vibe lol. But yeah that lawn got wrecked.
I don’t get why they’d just drive over it like that?? If people can’t follow directions, how is any job safe. Amazon should’ve fired them on the spot.
Maybe the contractor *had* to because the driveway was blocked? Like could’ve been a truck or something. Not saying it’s ok, but these stories always leave stuff out and the camera angle is everything.
Honestly I bet Amazon didn’t really repair anything, they just said they would. They say “made things right” all the time but then it turns into a runaround. Also why is the driver doing a U-turn on a lawn like that??
