The cost of an employee is far higher than just their pay though.
The only 'delivery guy' i ever met who got paid even close to six figures (and that doesn't include operation+maintenance) spoke like a million languages, had advice for how much to bribe border guards in various countries and currencies, most of which no longer exist, and may have had ties to the state department.
And i feel like thats not the kind of delivery guy amazon is trying to replace with these.
