Then there was all the negative feedback from those who did make a go of it, about low income and unsteady work.
Maybe the drones can pull them through.
I see lots of room for error and mishaps.
Also sabotage by former and current disgruntled delivery employees, on top of the thrill seekers.
I think we all would love to blast one or two for recreation,
they will have their work cut out for them.

I saw one of their contractors in action over the weekend driving a late model Volvo. He rolled into the cul-de-sac, stopped in the street, and proceeded to unload packages from the trunk into the street, transfer packaged from totes from the back seat into the trunk and then stack packages the packages from the street into the back seat. He got distracted by his wife or girlfriend ride-along, hopped back in the car and drove off leaving a couple packages sitting in the street.
He must have checked his rearview as he drove off and screeched to a stop, ran back for the packages and then drove off. It was pretty amusing.
