Never leave, even to poop. Related:

Poop vans are the secret to Amazon's speedy success
"Delivery drivers working for online e-commerce giant Amazon urinate and even defecate in their vehicles to meet crushing deadlines, an undercover journalist has claimed."

“Since then we have made changes to the way our checks are carried out and taken a number of steps to improve our ways of working,” the company said.

So they made "improvements" since then. It's all good now I'm sure.

Screened out based on MTurk profile? That's a new one.

I just tried this same HIT. I think they just mean your demographics screened you out, but they don't know how to use MTurk terminology properly.

probably something along the lines of making the seats less comfortable so the delivery driver will be less likely to poop in the van and more likely to do it on the sidewalk, thus reducing cleaning costs and significantly improving the drivers work environment

Take it with a grain of salt. I grew up in NYC, live nearby now. The NY Post is only a small step below the National Inquirer.
But I have read about the pressure put on UPS workers. I live in a large apt. bldg. They used to ring your bell and come upstairs to hand you the package. Now they don't even ring, just leave a note in the front lobby, and take the pkg back to the UPS office.

And charging four times as much as before for deliveries to universities.

:) And I could make brussels sprouts because I would have someone to share them with!! My mother in law makes them for thanksgiving everyyear and she skillet sautes them with pecans and bacon. So yummy. But I can eat them boiled or steamed or anyway.
Yum...I'm going to have to try that.
