So does anyone know why delivery drivers do that? Is there some sort of perverse incentive to leaving a delivery note versus actually delivering the package?

I can kinda get the incentive (saving time) on signature-required packages, since it's faster to slap a label on the door than wait for someone to answer and sign for the thing.

But why do they do it on non-signature packages? It makes no sense.



It may also be an attempt to hide a failure they made that would likely be held against them if found out (e.g. if they forgot to load a pallet on to the truck).


My best guess is the package is buried in the truck and don't feel like digging it out.
