I don’t even touch them for signatures. Knock loudly once, service cross, InfoNotice, move on. If they try to talk to me, I pretend not to notice. I typically have my sunglasses on and an earbud in which gives me some plausible deniability, not that I really need it anyway.
“Why can’t you just sign for it and leave it? Richie does it all the time.”
“Gonna pretend I didn’t hear that. Sign please.”

What happened to work smarter not harder? Many times I have talked to them through the bell and one of two things happened. I give them info to meet me later on or are instructed to deliver to neighbor for sig, because most times a sig required is alcohol or something of value that the people want. It doesn't require much effort. Even though with wine I don't carry it to the door unless I know someone is there, its not hard to drive two doors down to Miss Molly's house. But in you guys eyes, there's always tomorrow. 150 stops + 1 =151 stops.
You're not home you're a damn thing I can do to help you out
You know the rules when you order a package

Tbh I get paid by the hour. If customer is polite I’m willing to work with them. But lately enough people are entitled d-bags that I’m going sour on the whole thing. Maybe it’s just that time of year.

Not sure it's illegal as every state has their own laws about it, but UPS does not allow it.
Direct Shipment of Alcohol State Statutes
The majority of states have statutory provisions that allow for out-of-state manufacturers to ship alcoholic beverages directly to consumers. The majority of states restrict the direct shipments to wine.

I do the same thing, totally ignore them. We really have zero idea of who's talking into the camera anyway.

It's so dumb when they say "so and so" signs for it to try to get you to sign. Shows how quickly they will nark to convenience themselves. Like if someone else did you a favor are throwing them under the bus by saying that. Another reason to never sign. And ya i just knock. If you see the stupid light start moving you know you're about to be annoyed.

I don’t press the ring doorbells ever. I don’t knock or ring anymore unless I need a signature. Only times I’ve ever been bitten by dogs are from inconsiderate impatient people who can’t wait for me to leave before opening their door and letting the dog chase me down. I argued with someone over the doorbell once about a 21 and over package and realized how stupid I looked arguing at a closed door and just left with the box and never did it again. I just pretend I can’t hear them. One of the little things I enjoy about the job when I get to do that.
