the way our complex is laid out, our service vendors seem to come to the office by using the rear entrance.
although, this is not a big deal, it does surprise our office staff when there is someone coming in through the back door. fedex, ups, whatever, they seem to enter through the rear.
I want the office staff to feel comfortable during the day, and dont want them to be frazzled by anticipating a surprise rear entrance, but am perplexed as to the right way to handle it.
do I discuss this with the offendors, or do I try to inoculate the office staff to this so they are not always surprised.
i have considered discussing it with the offendors, but it seems to be an agreeable way for them to deposit the goods, and do not want to offend them, however if there is some issue, i need to take care of it.
i like to be up front with the staff, but want them to be comfortable and relaxed if and when there is to be a breach of the rear.
anyway, if you could help out with this I would appreciate it greatly.
So the rear is a more desirable entry point? I suppose your complex keeps the rear a lot cleaner and smoother than typical rear entrances. Maybe you could change the layout surrounding your complex to shift ease of entry from back to front. Or you could just wait until the employees get used to it, I can’t imagine it taking a long time if it happens every day.
Have you considered allowing alcohol in the workplace? In my experience, the sober will often poo-poo the idea of backdoor entry, but once the alcohol is flowing rear entry is often invited. Some will practically bend over forwards to assist entry.

That could lead into gateway abuse of mollies and or GHB in the work place…and then all deadlines will get missed. Business will fail. I hate you for this idea.
I would suggest allowing very small packages in at first and then gradually going up in size until big black packages are allowed.
