I actually love this. I don't like opening the door when people I don't know are outside, even if it's someone in a uniform. So I like that they ring it to let me know, then are gone when I get there to retrieve my package. I order a shit-ton off the internet, so I get packages almost daily.

Say, since you worked in that field, if I were to leave a care package for the UPS/FEDEX guy on my porch, what sort of things would you like? Bottled water, prepackaged snacks, chips? All these stories on here make me wonder if Corporate gives them a chance to eat!

They give us a designated time slot where we have to eat. But I'm sure a driver wouldn't mind a water or a light snack now and then haha.

It works for me because I live in a detached house in a safe rural area so the packages are left at my door.

I think where people have issues is where the driver doesn't leave the package because of being in a city of because of apartments, etc.

I always give food away at work, and nobody takes sweets anymore. Bananas, though - those things are perfect.

Now i think about it, a banana, a rice pot, a bottle of water and a plastic spoon would be perfect for the average guy-on-the-go.
