Amazon

I must sign for half a dozen or so parcels and packages a day at work. I've always hated the PDAs that you have to sign with youyr finger. Months ago before coronavirus I got into an argument with one courier because I wanted to use my own rubber tipped pen thing to sign instead of my finger and he refused to let me. The Hermes courier has a plastic thing you sign with but today Amazon I had to again sign with my finger. (I washed my hands straight afterwards.

Surely they should be putting something else in place at the moment.

If you wash your hands I really cannot see a problem

I have to go to a different part of the building to the toilets to wash my hands. Reception is downstairs. The toilets are upstairs.

Wipes and sanitizer?

You tried getting any of that recently.

Surely using the pen Hermes gave you is as bad as using your finger-others will have touched that too?

I'm worried about that also as having quite a few deliveries recently. I've decided from now on I'm answering the door wearing nitrile gloves. I can see no reason why a courier or their employer should object, surely it's the signature that counts. Next time a courier objects to you using your rubber tipped pen ask them if they have sanitised the touch screen recently.
