I encourage my daughter (4) to run and peek through the small window beside the front door whenever the driver is out there taking photo. She always looks like a goblin.

That's her lawyer.

I mean.... the cat is obviously in charge of that house.

I do, even if it's a bot, because maybe it's not. I have worked on 2nd+ line tech support, and I'd often see 1st line getting mistreated by customers. I could never do 1st line.

Most of the time its a bot so why bother

Hi

I don't. I usually think they are bots though until they say something too complex for a bot and feel bad I didn't say hi.

I try to do this as well. It usually ends up being resolved quickly, as building rapport with the person on the line often leads to them feeling more invested in helping.

I'm sure it's a breath of fresh air to have a break from being on the other end of passive aggressiveness, screaming, and other forms of behavior that come from grown adults having tantrums over spilt milk.

But “ist” in this context says that this person does this receiving regularly, likely as a hobby or profession. In which case, OOP would likely know if there was a receptionist that would have taken the package.

So, I’d probably go with receptioner which is more open to uses in situations where the person acted as receptioner this time, but not necessarily as part of a thing they do regularly.

The ups guy that delivers to my work has been marking every package as signed for by a person who quit 5 years ago... Sometimes on stuff he didn't even leave at our building...

Mine just says

Handed to Retard

*I didn't realize calling myself a retard would be so divisive.

There aren't options for "I was running late so couldn't be bothered", "can't find it in my pigsty of a van" or "looked valuable so I stole it"

And everyone knows that resident doesn't necessarily mean a resident of your house either

Most companies would do their CS agents a lot of good by allowing them to be themselves a bit more. The amount of times you can hear the inner turmoil as an agent knows they're saying something wrong, but that's what's on the script is painful, and you waste about 30 mins just breaking through "the company code"
