Hi all:
Today a delivery person came to my door and asked me to take a delivery for the house next door because nobody was there. I said that I was not comfortable doing that because I didn't know the people, but he didn't accept that and implored me to take it, saying that it was windy and raining, the implication being that he couldn't leave the delivery at the door. I ended up taking it but am enraged that a delivery person would put me in that position. I think that after I politely explained why I did not want to take the delivery, he should have left and come back later when someone was there. I suppose I should have just told him that instead of caving and agreeing to take it. Later I shot off a comment to the company expressing my displeasure with the event. I doubt that I will receive a reply but wanted to register my complaint anyway.
Have you had a similar situation? How did you handle it?
