UPS was scheduled for delivery today. My dog altered me of the truck, and I went out to see as I’m clearly a child on Christmas morning. I hear rummaging around in the truck and after a couple minutes the driver emerges from the back, into the cab, and closes the door behind him. He’s doing some tapping on his iPad thing and notices me.
I ask, “hey bro, got something for me?” He says, “I’m supposed to, but I couldn’t find it back there right now. I’ll circle back later.” I say alright, and now, hours later, the tracking page shows that the package has been delayed, for delivery Monday. Sad!
Kudos for this. I always see posts of people getting fed up by what delivery drivers do, but I feel like that just creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Pay it forward and create a more forgiving environment for them - the delivery drivers will be less stressed/annoyed and will be more likely to go the extra mile if it’s needed someday.
Of course, it would be better if they just had sufficient time allocated for their deliveries, but in the interim… just treat them humanely.
