[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 617764, member: 12570"] Honking the horn, walking to the front door, and tossing a bag a step away from the doorstep (last time I checked) is not against any policy UPS drivers have. If someone wants to turn hand-to-surface into the 11th commandment then so be it, but it would be nothing any driver in America would get a warning for. [COLOR=red]Why not just take that last step and knock on the door and/or ring the doorbell? It may not be against policy but it is certainly not the way that Tex and I and most everyone else here was taught to do the job.[/COLOR] I DON'T ring the bell at every stop because I have woken up people in my area who work 3rd shift for a package that doesn't need a signature. I DON'T ring the bell at every stop because I have woken babies sleeping and got yelled at by tired mothers. I DON'T ring the doorbell at every stop because I've been told as long as honk, I have nothing to worry about. I know my area better than Upstate Dave, and vice versa. [COLOR=red]Fair enough and I have customers like that myself but you gave the impression that you do this at all of your residential stops.[/COLOR] His condescending post about New York's measuring system was a shot at MY PROFESSIONALISM. Tossing a QVC bag on someone's doorstep is a trivial part of a UPS driver's day as much as a paperboy tossing the Wall Street Journal on Upstate's condo steps. I believe my point is clear. :happy2: [COLOR=red]...and mine as well. We are not the paperboy.
