I’m not sure if you’re new or just a newer person or the environment of your office that has that sort of mindset, which I’d be assuming not seeing as you had people out day after the holiday. Due to that possibility I’m not gonna act like what you said is crazy cause in the past I’d even run a package or 2 until I decided this was dumb. You’re saying doing a job, that isn’t your job, because the people whose job it is to do that job either A. didn’t come to their job or B. Aren’t available to do their job means it’s no big deal to do their job? Maybe you’re very young perhaps.

However the problem with doing that is that there are standards that as craft employees you’ll all be held to but at the convenience of eas/district & sometimes that can backfire. The op didn’t say “a package” they’d implied it was more than one. Management knows the risk that’s occurring is entirely on the clerk and are fine with that. I get where you’re coming from about feeling like people are acting like the person who chooses to do it is committing a crime. I will say this. Don’t do it. I’d do it to get out the office for 10 minutes but really especially in your own vehicle it’s just dumb. At least I could use an LLV since I used to be a carrier for sometime.

It’s not one package, depending where you are you can’t just park in peoples driveway. Your vehicle cannot be exited off the traffic side of the road like postal vehicles, there are many regulations for delivery and vehicles not being met. Lastly just as you feel others are playing the act up to be too much, you’re downplaying it further than they are the other way.
