I have a problem with that video over sensationalized because those packages probably contain paper or something superficial. My former employer would overnight an entire box wherein there would be a single plastic part or 1 page memo.

The response...

How is the video over sensationalized?

IMO, it doesn't matter if they contained a single sheet of paper, grass clippings, etc.

Firing the driver may have been a bit much, but with virtually every cell phone having a camera, delivery drivers need to keep that in mind that someone with the capability of recording them is always around.

She was probably fired to make an example.

Exactly ... political correctness strikes again. Seeing the customer's lack of concern of damage to the contents by throwing boxes into the van as well, tells me the she was probably only guilty of unorganization & sloppy housekeeping.

But now the big question ... with an arm like that, do you bring her in for a look?
