The U.S. postal worker's motto is to deliver in spite of rain, sleet, or snow, but one Amazon driver demonstrated he was more dedicated to his job by adding "standoff" to the list of obstacles.
A viral video uploaded on March 18 showed an Amazon delivery guy casually walking through an active police standoff to drop off a package.
The life-threatening risk of being caught in a crossfire wasn't going to stop him from fulfilling his Prime duty.
In the clip, the employee wearing a vest with the identifying Amazon logo was seen carrying a package and determinedly walking past several parked police vehicles and armed officers in a cul-de-sac.
“Amazon hard at work," remarked the woman filming the unfazed individual.
"In the midst of a standoff, he’s going to deliver his package–'I don't gave a f'k.'"
Officers further up the road were caught off guard by the approaching worker and ordered him to hand over the package to deliver it for him.
After the employee complied, he walked away from the tense scene–but not before turning back and snapping a photo of the delivered item as proof the transaction was completed.
All in a day's work.
The clip was captioned with the hashtag, Go #Amazon.
The suburban crime scene appeared to take place in North Carolina, as indicated by the police cars marked with "Raleigh."
The clip was viewed over 7.3 million times.
The woman was highly amused by the dedicated employee and commented:
"Amazon is the sh*t. Look, he's taking a picture. 'It made it there.'"
She added:
"When you're serious about your work."
The videographer's observation is significant for a couple of reasons as pointed out in the comments.
With the scarcity of jobs in the country and the rate at which employees are easily fired, the Amazon driver's objective was to prioritize his job over safety.
Since many big corporations–and even small businesses–view workers as disposable, this guy was not about to be unemployed by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos even if his life depended on it.

Others pointed out the fact the Amazon driver was so nonchalant in the presence of police and firearms was very telling about an overall numbness to American gun violence.
