AIBU to think this was inconsiderate?

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?

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?!

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.

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 ??

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.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
