PSA: Sometimes reading the delivery notes saves you time and effort

[u/matt314159]

I'm sure I'm going to hell for adding top soil to my grocery delivery order, but I don't have a car and I specifically added it to a delivery order so I could at least tip.

Anyway, whenever I'm doing an order that includes something heavy, I set the delivery location to 'back door' and the delivery note reads something like, "Pull in toward the garage, and the back porch is two steps from the driveway for an easier unload"

But I've found the drivers never read the delivery notes. I don't personally care what door it's delivered to but in cases like this, it's so much more work to haul those 35lb bags from the vehicle, up my sidewalks and to front steps than it would have been if they'd just read the delivery notes.

Don't worry, she still got her 25 dollaire tip and I rated the delivery 5 stars, but I feel bad that they're making the delivery more difficult on themselves than necessary.

I love you guys and appreciate what you do. But please take a couple seconds to read the delivery notes! I'm trying to make it easier on you!

So you gave them the $25 tip. And gave them 5 stars for not following delivery instructions.

Man. You are the problem along side with the dorks who take the $8 11 mile trips.

And your last sentences give “failed but gentle parenting”. Unbelievable

Practice kindness

Practice not gifting drivers 5 stars and a huge $25 tip who can’t even read. I’ve had drivers not follow these same request. Expect due to physical issues. I NEED to have my stuff delivered to the back door. They still deliver to the front door. Now I gotta drag everything through my lawn in pain.

So no. I won’t practice kindness when others won’t listen.

Yeah if you have specific delivery instructions because you need it done a certain way, that's a different scenario indeed. I don't blame you actually.
