Kind Homeowner Leaves Snacks For Delivery Drivers 

That is so nice

After doing what? Leaving somebody's private property in a publicly accessible place?!?!

yep love that guy

Would you mind doing something decent in return? Deliver parcels *PROPERLY,* not dump them in a publicly accessible place as you've become accustomed to doing...

@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 you’re saying me personally?

@@Juanito231991 my answer to that would be both yes and no, please? The culture I'm noticing in the USA of actively *rewarding* compromised service is something I'm honestly beginning to become personally affected by. Customer blaming is at a record high ("Did you nominate a "safe place"!" - asked more as a form of interrogation, rather than being asked to determine what might've happened to a missing/"undelivered" item), businesspersons are being automatically excused for one reason or another (oftentimes using the adverb "probably", "most likely" etc. etc.), and galvanized to do things even _more_ "the wrong way". I'm based in the UK, and am extremely apprehensive about using courier services for deliveries anymore, because we've developed your country's (I'm assuming you're based in the USA) very poor work model. Cooperating with a senior profit taker's directions to "work faster" by leaving parcels unattended in a publicly accessible (and oftentimes publicly *viewable)* place makes you, and/or your colleagues, very inconsiderate people as far as I'm concerned. The hospitality industry in the USA has a similar (though I'd imagine much more advanced) mentality as far as customer expectations go, such as with regards to tipping (which I won't get too much into here). Suffice to say, customers are expected to be insincere about the service they receive - or ELSE! I just don't imagine you're particularly keen on the idea of signposting to potential burglars, that nobody's indoors to accept deliveries for whatever reason or reasons - possibly even owing to exceptional circumstances such as an emergency hospital admission. Nor that potentially sensitive/private correspondence/apparatus, may be left sitting outside (with nothing more than cursory knock on the door to "indicate" that it's arrived, as though that's somehow acceptable) where everyone *except* the recipient, essentially gets first refusal at seeing and taking it! Unfortunately, I've gone from seeing delivery couriers as that of a noble profession (my late mother worked as one for a private company back in the late '90s now that I remember), to a public liability. If staff aren't properly being looked after with regards to their health/nutrition etc., then that is something that should be taken up with the *_employer,_* should it not?? Sooner or later, I foresee a situation whereby customers will begin getting poor service IF they fail to accommodate the couriers' needs (such as providing drinks in exchange for parcels being left sat outside for however long). Perhaps there'll be a considerable few, who simply take the item, because there was nothing for them to drink ["this time"] (out of spite)?? You must recognise that that's a distinct possibility?? A courier might even do that by mistake to the wrong address, or any imaginable circumstance where rewarding negative conduct is concerned. It's *bound* to happen sooner or later (if it hasn't done so already).

The fact that you think thief's are that smart LOL

most thieves would wear masks or hoods to not get identified

Do you want to know what's even more intelligent? Delivering parcels *PROPERLY!* Not... this. This is completely irresponsible.

Well how would you know what people treat you like, if you plop customers' private property down in a publicly accessible place then walk away without a second thought??

@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 your way of limiting your thoughts is fascinating. Do you realize that the streets are full of people?

@@Eretzisrael can't say such a thought ever occurred to me. You couriers in America have brought disrepute on to your own industry by leaving peoples' private property outside their addresses and then walking away. Suppose that a waiting customer unexpectedly had to go into hospital suddenly a matter of hours before the delivery, and wasn't in (sitting there anxiously) ensuring that a courier wasn't irresponsible enough to absentmindedly plop their items outside their front door and walk away (with nothing more than a cursory "knock" on the door as though that was somehow enough)... People have your sort to thank for signposting unoccupied homes to both would-be package thieves, or worse - burglars (did that thought ever cross your mind?) Customers have absolutely NO comeback, if sensitive information is contained within those parcels, pertaining to things like medical apparatus. The _"money"_ might get refunded, but what happens to a customer's peace of mind? Their sense of security and privacy?? You've left them high and dry. Have I been in any way incorrect about anything I've said here? I'd like to be surprised to learn that I've been wrong.

@@Eretzisrael Sorry. 😔

@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 🤓

Really!!me too

So then... You're rewarding them as a result of them just having done something extremely irresponsible are you?

What are you doing rewarding irresponsible behaviour??

It's ok to cry. It just shows that you have empathy

I'm 52 and crying also! This video made my day!

Being colourblind is being blind by it's very definition. Being unable to distinguish between black and white is blind by virtue of one being the brightest colour, and the other, the darkest colour.

I told my husband I needed to do this because the only way I shop was online. He thinks I'm nuts. I figure, even if kids running around the neighborhood take snacks & drinks too, who cares! They need it, too! ❤

Yes. If ONLY they actually *DELIVERED* the items PROPERLY in the first place! 😠

Yes. Giving "back" to people who accept profit from you in exchange for leaving your private property in a publicly accessible place. Makes you feel all warm and gooey on the inside doesn't it.

I leave bottle water , juice, couple of snacks. I can't afford to leave a lot either. I try to leave a little something. Wish I could leave more.

Buy snacks at the Dollar Tree that are individually wrapped and break up the packaging!

These drivers really appreciate this. Weather this week will be 0 & a high of 20 with lots of snow. Cash even $5.00 at a gas station for hot coffee, hot chocolate or spiced cider or a couple packets of hand warmers. Drivers would be elated.

I do this for drivers too. I work for USPS and we deliver packages to customers porches all the time. When I come across a home like this, I know theirs kind people here.

I'm not thankful for them. I see them as a public liability.

@@letsdiscussitoversometea8479 Than that's your problem.

@@samuelarnoldii528 I bet you think that.
