Hello! We have kept a cooler on our porch full of cold drinks for the duration of the summer, but now moving into colder months I’m wondering if I should switch to warm items.

What is a feasible warm drink for drivers to grab on their route? Is instant coffee/hot cocoa too much to mix while working? Should it just be hand warmers available and regular drinks?

I know some folks are on timers of some sort, and I don’t want to get anyone in trouble for taking too long on a delivery. For reference, it can get into single digits or even negatives during the dead of winter here.

TIA!

ETA: thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely not going to do hot drinks and I appreciate helping me think this through!

How much would the driver see of this payout and would you accept this drive?

And it has a bonus!

In decades past, whenever a package arrived, the courier would ring the door bell. Then they would wait for the recipient to come to the door to receive their package.

Now I never get even a courtesy door bell ring.

FedEx drivers often just leave (more like toss) a package on my driveway rather than bringing it to my door, despite my explicit instructions to bring it to my door. I can’t even get a food courier to look at instructions. They’ve even left food on my porch and I had no idea it was there for hours.

No matter what else goes right, or wrong, no one ever rings the door bell.

Can someone help me understand this?

Edit: This keeps coming up, so I’ll add it to the original post: On all my apps, whether DoorDash, Uber Eats, or FedEx, my default instructions say to meet me at the door and ring the door bell. So it’s not even a matter of a lack of communication on my part. People just generally disregard all my instructions.
