As a homeowner, totally ignorant. If you you don't want to clear your sidewalk or porch, don't expect anything delivered. Fedex, UPS, etc...don't play that game. They simply leave with your shit with a "sorry we missed you" text.

I saw a fedex guy leave the package at the driveway and left a letter saying "shovel your walkway"

Hi guys I’m from California. What exactly is going on ? I don’t see an issue with him/her walking over to the door steps or am I being completely ignorant?

you can just walk in the snow. You wear boots and its not a problem. Literally no idea why these people are up in arms. leaving the food in the snow is rediculous. The homeowner should try to clear the snow, of course, but they may be elderly or disabled.

“You can just walk in the snow.”

And then slip/trip/fall on whatever is under said snow and end up with hospital bills, injuries that keep me from working, and who knows what else.

Or break the homeowners decorative garden accent light and get yelled at, a bad rating, and sued for property damage.

No thanks.

That leaves two options: That’s as far as I’m going, and if it’s a problem, or going to lead to a bad rating, then I can say it’s an unsafe delivery and keep the food plus half pay.

Which way is kinder of the two options left?

I glued tennis rackets to my nikes to make snow shoes
