34 people tipping their delivery driver? What? Is that normal in your country? How do you think that's going to go down?

In the UK at least, if I tried to hand a delivery guy cash they'd just be confused.

Exactly. The only situation I could see this being remotely socially acceptable here in the UK is if you have the same postman or delivery driver every day, and you somehow decide at Christmas to give them a Christmas card with a little something in it. Even then that's a bit weird.

lol no. Half the time they deliver it to the wrong door and the other half of the time they toss the package down, hit my door a few times and leave. I rarely actually interact with them.

At the minute my delivery drivers seem to have no concept of social distancing so they're lucky if I don't shout at them / report them.

Seriously, half the time they knock and literally just wait 1 foot away from my door. Even when I've given explicit instructions to leave the package on the door.

I had covid 3 weeks ago and one of the delivery drivers made me go to my front door to take a photo. Even happens with items with no significant value, like food deliveries, even when I've selected the option on their website, to leave the delivery on the doorstep. They just knock and wait...

I get it, they need proof of delivery, but they need to be able to respect social distancing too. I had a delivery driver do this 3 weeks back when I actually had covid and was essentially incapacitated. I told him this through the window and yet he still asked me to come outside and stand at the door so he could take a photo.

I don't know if they are allowed to take the money here in Germany, wouldn't surprise me if it's illegal.

With how most deliveries happen at my place the fuckers will just throw it by the front door without even ringing the bell...

I couldn't even if I wanted to unless we met at the same time. I'll most likely come get it from my building concierge

I've only seen this happen in small business when you have the same UPS or FedEx person coming by every day or so but typically they would be given a gift basket with cheese, salami, and crackers.
