[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1053475, member: 12570"] Churches are on our approved list of driver release locations so technically Sober could have left the envelopes on her desk and completed the stop DR Office. The church office that I deliver to has a table on which all of the carriers leave their packages. We all have specific situations such as these in which common sense should prevail. I can recall when I was on my country run there was an elderly gentleman who would receive COD's and had no idea how to write a check. He would hand me a signed check, I would fill it out and show it to him when I was done. I tried to teach him how to write a check but he had no interest in learning and I quickly figured out it was faster just to fill it out myself. I have a business stop which is basically a room with two tables filled with engineering blueprints. Contractors come here to review these plans prior to bidding on jobs. An older gentleman comes by once a week or so to refill the copy machine and to basically make sure the place hasn't burnt down. The front door has a lock with an push button entry code system. All of the drivers who deliver there know the code and their packages are SDN'd. To leave info notices and make 3 attempts would be a waste of time for all involved. I am in no way recommending that we start signing for packages at businesses just to save time. I am saying that common sense needs to prevail and that there are times when it is better to do the right thing. [/QUOTE]
