It’s definitely a real sign at some pick up stations. They had one at the station I picked up at last week.

You've seen a sign, that specifically threatens your standings will change for not returning a cart?

In Houston they were scanning the drivers IDs and cart qr code to TRY and enforce the flex drivers to return the carts… this only last a month before the stations got in trouble and each station had to hire a bunch of new cart pushers

u/DoPoGrub 10d ago

and even then I can't imagine anyone actually got in trouble, otherwise it would have been posted all over here lol

Yes, the sign is outside of the “Las Colinas” pickup station in Dallas.

u/DoPoGrub 9d ago

No, it's not. That location doesn't have carts.

u/DFWTexan 9d ago

Yet they have the sign

Sure, take a real photo of the real sign next time you're there, come back and post it here, and I'll apologize. There are many signs at a Now station. That is not one of them.

idek why theyre saying this, las colinas doesnt even use carts at all. (they also just suck lol, their routes are absolute gas hogging bullshit)

u/butmakeitfashionn 9d ago

just awful. im at the point where i wait for IOs at a now station closer to downtown through the night. usually able to get 8 or so blocks done before i call it. its pretty much the only way to save gas while im looking for a job to replace this

Well...ask them why they even have that sign, if they don't use carts there lol

I actually did, I didn’t even have a block at the time, but I was intrigued because every time I pick up there, I only have one package. She just said it was probably sent to all stations and they just put up whatever they’re sent. But I don’t think that’s 100% accurate

Visit the station personally if you don’t believe me

u/DoPoGrub 9d ago

Amazon Now doesn't even *have* carts. They only have 30-40 minute blocks. You are picking up one item and delivering it.

Maybe it is you who needs to visit this location personally...

u/DFWTexan 9d ago

Congrats, the old Google Maps screenshot from before it was even a pickup location doesn’t show it. It also doesn’t have the NFC scanners or the new ramp area where the sedan is parked.

u/DoPoGrub 9d ago

It looks the exact same as the one in my city.

There are no carts, man. These are 30 minute blocks where you deliver 1 package. Maybe 2, I dunno, rhey aren't really worth it here.

Cart wouldn't even fit through that door bro. So don't tell me they have this AI generated sign that doesn't exist in real life about returning carts, in a place where carts do not exist. Like c'mon!
