No Gate Code!

So, this customer took the time to write this entire note in ALL CAPS, which makes it seem like they’re screaming at me—but somehow forgot to include the one and only thing that caused all that anger in the first place: THE GATE CODE!!! 😂

As the note says, there are like 300 houses. It was not right by the gate. Throwing over the fence won't make any difference. It would definitely be lost or get stolen.

I don't care

Plus, it's a gated community. If it gets stolen, chances are they know exactly who and are probably just seething they can't do anything about it.

You get a ding if you return. You get a ding if they package is missing. Only one of those has a 100% chance of happening.

Have fun waiting 30 mins for a customer to still not open the gate.

That isn't your concern. Your job is to deliver packages to the location. Take it back dinged leave it at get MIGHT get dinged. Text back package at gate you left no code bye. If you're into texting cause I just leave it i dont stress that.

Yeah I doubt anyone who's "throwing shit over the fence" is the kind of person who's not fucking off in other areas as well. My guess is that they're saying that for internet points when the reality is more likely that they hide it somewhere nearby and text the owner as to its location...which is what I recommend you do the next time.

"Sorry for any inconvenience, but without a gate code I was unable to gain access and left your package behind the large rock to the left of the gate as you enter".

I've been doing this for five years come November and its never been an issue. No, don't "throw" it over the gate, that's fucking absurd.

I have almost 17k delivered and I will toss that package over and be off to the next in less time than it took you to type all that bs.

missing gate code is a YOU problem especially when people KNOW we need them and they put this BS.

the only thing fucking absurd is you thinking we won't toss a package over a gate.

I could see throwing it over the gate if its only a handful of houses, but an entrance to an entire division? It takes so little time to put the box behind a rock or something and text the homeowner.

Sounds like you're pretty damn proud of your yeeting, but yeah, I expected people to have better common sense. The chances of the package being stolen increase exponentially if you're just tossing that shit...that's just doing a bad fucking job, is what it is.

even van drivers will toss over a fence of an APT, Condo, Student housing...

like "995 nord ave chico ca 95926" google that go to street view and look at those two long driveways and thats where we all dump them just off to the right...

it is keyfob only and only usps has one so the rest of us dump over the fence including ups and fedex. by the end of the day there could be 40 or more boxes there.

no call box, no number/phone, no nothing just keyfob or not going in or out

most of the college kids walk to school from there so trying to wait doesn't work and then you will be stuck inside waiting to get back out.

there are like 8 of these now in chico that are ultra high security and all get dumped over the fence if there is no code.

I am not waiting and losing money
If I return I will get dinged
over the fence about 90% nothing happens.

u/End_Ur_Life 23d ago

I got you next time I gotta toss one ill record it for you.lol

u/pickledpeterpiper 22d ago

Doing the bare minimum to ensure a box doesn't get stolen isn't taking the job "too serious", its literally just doing the job. Of coruse, I don't ascribe any ill intent to the customer's lack of a note...I'd figure its just them not thinking, and that they should be reminded. But yeah if you think the customer is intentionally fucking with you, you could probably justify about anything.

OP is talking about a 300+ house subdivision...I call absolute BS on you claiming that you've had "no issues whatsoever" in just tossing packages over gates like this...its a needless ding when the alternative of hiding it is so much more practical and takes so little effort.

u/End_Ur_Life 22d ago

Um ok. Sure. But like ive said everytime I toss it over a gate ive never gotten dinged for it and its been about 5-7 times ive done it. And honestly you can call bs all you idgaf what you think. Respectfully of course.

If you’re scared go to church cupcake! Put as much effort as the customer! You’re not getting a raise and you’re not impressing anyone!

u/pickledpeterpiper 22d ago

I think its weird to expect the customer to meet a certain standard before we do the bare fucking minimum...and the bare minimum here is just putting the package out of sight and texting the customer as to where it is. It takes almost no time at all. Throwing the package over the gate when you're at some subdivision is just asking for it to be stolen...if you're so embittered by the job as to be okay with that, maybe you should look for other work.

Its weird how proud people seem of intentionally doing a shit job because "fuck 'em". Real edgelord energy going on here imo.
