NATIONAL — Did you have a good experience with an Amazon delivery driver? Did they go that extra mile? Now, according to the company, Amazon will tip your driver.
Amazon recently announced that program that goes into effect today.
According to the company, any time a customer says “Alexa, thank my driver,” the driver who delivered their most recent package will be notified of the customer’s appreciation. And, in celebration of this new feature, with each thank-you received from customers, drivers will also receive an additional $5, at no cost to the customer.”
Amazon says this program will be for the first “1 million thank-you’s received.”
Five drivers, a spokesperson said, who receive the most customer “thank-you’s” during the promotional period, will also be rewarded with $10,000 and an additional $10,000 to their charity of choice.
“We love hearing the countless stories from customers about the many ways delivery drivers make their lives better. We are excited for this new opportunity to thank these everyday heroes and give our customers the ability to help us do it, said a corporate representative.”
