UPS Driver’s Reaction to Snacks Is Priceless

‘Tis the season for shopping online. Every year, Toni Hillison Barnett from Kentucky and her family ensure her delivery drivers are taken care of. Which got one UPS driver named Dee very excited. Along with the snacks was a nice note. Dee returned a few days later, and that response was just as sweet. Tori says the treats are her way of saying thanks. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

I love how such a small act of kindness can change a person's day completely.

[@BoardsportsGroup]

make it a daily/weekly/monthly practice and you'll see for yourself - it really does, and even if you forget the faces of the ones you help they won't forget you.

During the holidays, the delivery drivers work very long hours and most of the time don't have time to stop and eat. This really helps. We need more people like this in our world.

[@kimschubert61]

I am a retired mail carrier and had several houses on my route for all the delivery drivers and I greatly appreciated the thoughtfulness and kindness. It warmed my heart and made those long days worth it. ❤

[@bigpimpn110]

Aye not gonna lie, when I delivered, coming up to a house that surprisingly had a wide array of snacks and beverages for their delivery drivers was honestly the best feeling ever and made me feel just the more appreciated so I fully understand and can relate to this!

[@postedinthecut1565]

I use to be an amazon driver and honestly I'll never forget when I got snacks and drinks on my route. such a little thing like that makes a huge difference in a drivers day, also the note thanking them really goes along way.

[@lurategh]

Dude how did I never think of this before?! I just hope this act of kindness doesn't get corrupted like everything else in this world by having non-delivery people hear of the house w/ the free snacks and come and steal the food not meant for them. If that's the case then like the saying goes, this is why we can't have nice things.

[@KingBasieSims4]

In my country I know for a fact that would happen. But also our delivery people don't leave our packages at the door for that very reason that someone will steal it, you HAVE to be home to accept it or it goes back.

[@WENDDEAD]

As an Amazon driver, this makes me SO happy. We really appreciate it. In the winter we don't get water so getting water while working up a sweat is like heaven sent! So thank you to everyone who does this.

[@cassidylopez671]
