I got a FedEx delivery today that required a signature. The driver asked

"Are you Late 80s Hokie?" and I said "Yes."

He then did a vague scribble on the electronic sign device and said "OK, your're good" and left. I didn't sign for it, and I've got to figure it's a virus transmission thing that may be a new FedEx rule, or may be just this one driver making that change.

Bags are 1 use, then tossed...the pylon could be touched by 100+ peeps/day -- JoesterVT 03/10/2020 12:54PM

I think it also has a lot to do with what comes BACK over the counter... -- HokieSignGuy 03/10/2020 12:59PM

You are right, but what's the risk level it could be unknowingly -- VTHokie2000 03/10/2020 1:04PM

More (and I did get a refill). I was chatting with the franchisee -- 48zip 03/10/2020 1:17PM

I am impressed he is listening to the advice of his employees... -- HokieSignGuy 03/10/2020 1:34PM

The only way to eliminate the risk is to close up, which could also mean -- Hokie360 03/10/2020 1:26PM

I agree it is impossible for a restaurant to eliminate the risk -- VTHokie2000 03/10/2020 1:23PM

Makes sense. See my post down below about the bag.** -- VTHokie2000 03/10/2020 12:58PM

Only the employees thouch the bag. Unwashed peasants touch the marker. ** -- vtbones 03/10/2020 12:52PM

Makes sense. I guess I was thinking the virus could still -- VTHokie2000 03/10/2020 12:56PM
