I was under the impression that delivery drivers had a book or something with these codes.

Like, the HOA just like calls the delivery companies and says "hey, here's a code to get in"

Missed the stories about these guys shitting in the backs of the trucks and vans for lack of time to do their jobs, eh?!

A route book or note is already an assumption drivers need to have some method to quickly get through gates. Where it missed out was there are even more efficient solutions to the problem. That's because of not knowing all of the options, not because of assuming drivers just have a lot of spare time to kill so must like the slower and more complicated option.

This is often left to USPS, UPS, and DHL drivers to figure out on their own.

You folks are living in a fantasy land.

No wonder it's considered socially acceptable to order multiple Amazon deliveries in a week....
