AIBU to think this was inconsiderate?

No.
I wash my hands after I've put it away.

We're due a storm tomorrow and a delivery, we'll unload as quickly as possible.

He/she/they cant possibly keep to the time slots if anyone is doing this.
As you say, its not necessary anyway.
Your driver must have been very patient aonk

Very unreasonable with zero consideration for others. I bag mine up as quickly as possible at the front door, put everything away, wash my hands and wash down the work surface I’ve set things down on. And have done so since the beginning of the pandemic.

DS delivers for Tesco. He says he just leaves the delivery outside for people who are isolating unless they need help taking it in. He wasn't impressed by a customer last week who came out and sorted out all her delivery with him and then said "I must get back indoors, we've all got Covid" He got back in the van and dowsed himself with his antibacterial gel.

I have stopped wiping the shopping but I do wash my hands thoroughly before I put them away and after.

Yes it was inconsiderate behaviour and quite unneccessary, but why on earth did the driver not complain to his supervisor?

He must have been badly delayed on his rounds and receiving dog's abuse from customers he had kept waiting.

In his place, I would have asked my supervisor if I might just hand over the order and drive off.

I used to wipe the shopping when I was caring for my late mother. However I would unload it quickly from the crate into a box at the door.
Very inconsiderate to both the person delivering and people waiting for deliveries to wipe each item before taking the next one.

Good grief no! I did it once at the start of the pandemic then watched and interview with Dr. Fauci saying there was no need so that was good enough for me. It's mainly airborne. I have been paying for bags until recently when there's no option but to get it out of the tray yourself. I now just put it into a large reuseable bag or two.

They don’t care much fir tge drivers do they, these selfish people. The driver should tell them it’s not allowed it’s against the rules, the bosses should support them.

wow some people

Ihave noticed that some delivery people (mostly men) some wear masks, some don`t

I had deliveries in the first lock down, from Sainsburys, and in bags,, convenient, now I understand they just come and put the goods on the doorstep floor??? argh! I would have trouble bending to bring each item in, let alone, on the floor!
I hope someone is going to tell me the easy way to take in food deliveries as I am getting older,, aren`t we all! but yes less able..

I unload into bags on the doorstep and yes, I’m still wiping down the shopping.

We used to wipe the shopping but haven’t done so for a long time. As others have said we wash hands thoroughly after handling the shopping.

I think the customer was going beyond the information given at the time and in a way could understand why they were doing it, however inconsiderate most people would think it was.
I would guess also that they were new to online shopping so had no idea of the time limits the delivery drivers were under and had the belief that there was no one else's groceries in the van , just their own!
Wonder if their name was Hyacinth ??

Waitrose drivers now unpack their trays onto my kitchen worktop and I then put the items away. I never wiped each item and I don't wipe the work surface unless there is liquid from a leaking or frozen item. I wash my hands afterwards. The drivers wear masks. I think the risk from surfaces us very low.

Some folks are pretty darned dumb! My window cleaner used to say his missus cleaned every single item down to each Banana!! Whaaa? Remember when the rumour was going round in60s/70s that you could catch VD. From door handles and loo Seats????? We knew this was utter rubbish as our mum was a nurse! Seems there are still stoopid idle people about who just can't be bothered to check facts........and prefer to make fools of themselves at others' expense?!

ClaraB

I unload into bags on the doorstep and yes, I’m still wiping down the shopping.

Why? Honestly I'd like to know what you think is 'on' your items that will kill you , other than raw meat juices/blood?

No never wiped shopping its a pointless exercise.

Would never do that to the poor driver!!
Used to clean everything when I got it home, SO time consuming!!
Don't bother now, but definitely wash my hands well..

I have a household trolley which I've had for years and now it has become really useful! When Sainsbury delivers I have my trolley just inside the porch and the driver unloads the shopping on to the trolley so I just wheel it through to the kitchen. I'm getting on a bit so this makes it much easier for me!

I've never wiped the shopping!

I can’t believe that anyone was ever panicked into wiping shopping!

It's interesting how people are going OTT with the Cleaning thing now? Before all this I was frequently grossed out/disgusted by what some folks' idea of clean was! Dirty marks around light switches being the first indicator of a mucky house, filthy cooker tops(like those always shown in news items about gas prices! Yuk!!) Dirty appliances chip pans full of overused saturated gunk, I used to be amused in gym at the state of some peoles' brushes and combs, and grossest of all, underwear! UK has reputation of being somewhat lazy on the housework front anyway , it makes me smirk to hear how everyone brags about Cleaning now for tasks which should already have been second nature, it's as if theyve discovered Cleaning as a means to keep things looking clean, new, and safe! A poke in the eye to all those twerps who'd say "life's too short for housework" they now realise it's a darned site shorter once the bacteria are out of control! A friend commented that she'd never have a pure white kitchen like mine because "it shows the dirt" ......so she'd rather the dirt be thick as it likes as long as she didn't see it then? Case rested

Wipe your shopping down? What with? And why?

My Sainsburys drivers are very good, and unload the shopping into large bags which I leave in the front porch for them. I'm afraid I still do wipe the shopping down, but as I go on it is now more slapdash!
