How to deliver packages in record time, Part 1

I learned a nifty but controversial time-saving tactic from a small town florist shop owner. He was understaffed, doing the work of three workers one day when I arrived, and he said, "Just put the package over there and sign my name for me."

I did and I was out of there in record time; no need to chase anyone down to sign for the package, I could skip the chit-chat, and off I went.

From then on, the florist shop owner changed the way I delivered packages, albeit against official UPS policy.
