An Amazon delivery driver was caught on camera threatening to shoot and kill a customer and his dog.
The unidentified driver was seen on doorbell security camera footage posted to TikTok over the weekend approaching a home in Kansas City hauling boxes over his shoulder when the homeowner comes out to greet him.
But when a dog starts barking in the background, the driver can be seen shaking his head as he gave the homeowner a stern warning not to let the dog out.
The homeowner, TikTok user Royal_Robs, tried to explain that the dog was safely inside the house with his girlfriend – but the delivery driver was not having it, and threatened the dog.
‘I’ll f***ing kill it,’ the driver tells the homeowner.
At that point, the homeowner decided to defend his furry companion, replying: ‘I’ll kill you before you kill my dog.’
Undeterred by that statement, the driver then escalated his threat by saying, ‘I’d shoot the f*** out of you and your dog, bro.’
By then, the homeowner seemed to have had enough of the rude driver, and told him, ‘You gotta get going, bro.’
But as the driver started to walk away, he decided to challenge the resident to release the dog and ‘see what happens,’ a second video showed.
Many were left furious by the delivery man’s attitude, with TikTok users advising the homeowner to call the police and report the altercation to Amazon.
‘That was a threat,’ one wrote. ‘I’d be pressing charges since he thinks he could say that to you.’
Another wrote that he delivers for UPS and understands where the deliverer is ‘coming from, but not to the extent of threats!
‘You as a service provider, step back, back pace with their box til it’s clear to deliver,’ he advised.
A third also identified themselves as a deliverer ‘and the issue with dogs is absolutely nuts… but thissssss? Umm, why would you say that?’
Others noted that the deliverer was pretty nonchalant about his threat, and ‘just casually took the picture’ of the delivered packages after making it.
And at least one TikTok user seemed to be on the delivery driver’s side.
‘People who have never worked in delivery, it shows!’ they wrote.
‘Y’all never been bitten a TON of times because people let their dogs out like this. Good for him for standing up [for himself]!’
In a follow-up video, the homeowner said he reported the incident to Amazon, and received an email back that the driver in question had been let go.
‘Shout out to Amazon for taking care of the situation quickly,’ he wrote, as he shared photos of his dog, George.
A spokesperson for the company also confirmed the man was no longer delivering in a statement to TMZ.
‘This behavior shown in the video is unacceptable, and the driver is no longer delivering packages on behalf of Amazon,’ the spokesperson said.
