[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 532980, member: 12570"] "Drug houses" aren't going to look like a grocery store for drugs, but just a regular house, like you and I live in. Not talking about "grow" houses, which are different. IMO, if I had a cell phone, which I don't, but if I did, I wouldn't give out the number to anyone on my route for the purpose of "making life easier". You drive, you show up, you deliver/pick up. You can always go back if they have more pick ups or aren't ready for the delivery. [COLOR=red]Drug houses don't normally blend in with the others. Increased foot traffic, blinds drawn 24/7, and a car parked out front worth more than the house itself usually cause them to stand out.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]Steve, I know that you are not a cell phone advocate, and I am far from one myself, but I do carry one and do give my number out to a few customers as it benefits both of us.
