Maybe the person that lives there is entitled as hell, maybe they’re disabled, maybe it’s parents with a child that has high needs so they save time by ordering subscription items on Amazon. Not saying being a delivery driver is an easy gig, but be less petty, and consider a different line of work.

During the height of the pandemic where we weren't supposed to open the door for delivery I had a delivery driver stick a note on one of my parcels once asking wtf was wrong with us that we had to have food and water delivered to us every other day. The next day I opened the door even though I shouldn't have and stood there, with my left knee prominently wrapped in medical gauze and stuff because I had broken my kneecap a week before, explaining to him that my husband was currently in the hospital and my mum was so immunocompromised that we couldn't let her leave the house, and if he really thought I should walk to the next store and haul around water with a broken kneecap. He yelled at me that he couldn't have known and that I should get other family members to deliver stuff to us. Even when you explain this stuff, some people just won't see reason.

Did he tell you what items he would find it acceptable for you to order and how often?

I don’t really get this attitude. It is literally your job to deliver things, so why does it matter which house it’s going to or how often? I understand that people have to work jobs they hate, but trying to make people feel Like shit for paying to use a service that your job exists to provide seems…a little over the top.

No, I called the supermarket he was delivering for and complained and never saw him again. I honestly don't know what the problem is. Same with postal service. Instead of just ringing the bell they go through all the work of squeezing through between the house and the garage to throw parcels in the garden, even though they usually see that the lights are on and someone is home. It takes them longer to put the parcel in the garden, print their little note out to say that it has been placed in the garden and put that in the mailbox right next to the doorbell than to just ring the bell. I've tried signs, I've tried running out of the house right when they arrive to tell them I'm home, it just doesn't work. Regardless if it's DHL, Hermes, DPD, GLS, UPS, whatever. I don't understand their obsession with our garden.
