Do you also like to remember the scandals that we were upset about in the time before Corona?
For example, there was the matter with the ZDF presenter Dunja Hayali, who had been waiting for a parcel, but only received a note that said the parcel delivery man hadn't found her, she should please pick up the shipment at the post office.
Presumably the DHL employee had no idea who he was dealing with, but had a migration background and preferred to watch Al Jazeera rather than ZDF at prime time.
In any case, it was beaten up by Ms. Hayali via Twitter, just as domestics were once groomed when the horse-drawn tram from Hennef to Ruppichteroth was still used.
“Hello @dhlpaket, that's enough for me.
if you don't feel like climbing stairs, I'll come down.
but do not write that you are not there. "

Whereupon the inevitable shit storm broke out in such cases.
The users said that Ms. Hayali should consider the conditions under which the parcel carriers work and how little they earn.
Record amount of packages - and garbage
A DHL spokesperson apologized to the moderator, which in turn took the opportunity to invite him to the ZDF morning magazine, where the two agreed that it was not about an isolated case, but about a "structural problem" that had been resolved would have to be.
The story is three years old.
I remembered it when I read on tagesschau.de that “the industry giant DHL” had “delivered more parcels by the end of November than in the whole of 2019”, and the other parcel services were also reporting record numbers and record sales.

On the one hand that is good for business, on the other hand, according to a union spokesman, the deliverers are doing "a backbreaking job", sometimes "below the minimum wage", the burden is "currently even higher than in the normal Christmas business", which is why it would be nice if the customers Parcel messengers coming towards me, “in the hallway”, which I always do when a messenger rings my doorbell.
What I missed in the post on tagesschau.de, however, was an indication of how the parcel boom is affecting the environment, a question I ask myself several times a day when a DHL or Hermes delivery van is in the middle of the road stands, which immediately forms a jam.
There must also be surveys about this, everything that is ecologically important is surveyed.
How environmentally harmful the use of disposable diapers is and how much it would be good for the environment if all cell phone owners were to use their phones for an extra year instead of buying a new device for a long time.

This is what the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, recently calculated.
I am a little old fashioned.
I like to shop where I want to see, touch and try the goods.
First of all, I ordered something on the internet, otherwise I avoid Amazon, eBay, DocMorris or Remix.
And I'd rather open a can of Aldi baked beans before I order a pizza from Lieferando.
Those who prefer to organize their life digitally should do it for me.
But stop - or don't even start - telling me how to dispose of my empty yogurt pots.
With me everything goes in the organic waste bin anyway.
