During the fall shipping season 6 different deliveries, all on different days over approximately 2 weeks, all by the same UPS guy. As he hauled the last case up my steps he said, “I think you have a drinking problem!”
It was very funny.
I received orders from Winebid, J.B. Neufeld, and Under the Wire yesterday and the FedEx guy signed for me. Was nice to have them all delivered at once.
UPS (not regular guy) left on steps, confirmed I was the addressee when I opened the door, and said “here you go”. Dunno if he signed, but not worried.
On Wednesday the UPS guy handed me the shipment and immediately turned back to the truck. I called out “Don’t you need my signature?” He replied “We are not asking for them anymore”. On Thursday a different UPS guy, wearing gloves, also didn’t ask for a signature. Both days the FedEx guys asked for a signature.
I don’t have a drinking problem, but I do have a major buying problem!!!
There are 3 Chinese restaurants in town. 1 is awful. The other 2 are decent.
Last night we tried to order from 1 of them and found that they had closed down due to the virus. Not sure if that was due to people not ordering or just prudence. Most of their business is takeout. They have almost no seating inside.
We called the other restaurant and they took our order for delivery. We had paid by card over the phone. The man with the food came to the door. He was wearing a mask, gloves and was generally all bundled up. He was really nice and we exchanged the usual pleasantries. Other than the initial startle at his appearance, I thought this was really good practice on his/the restaurants part. I hope it works out for them.
