An X user wrote, “Society presidents are insane. My cousin’s building got a warning for receiving too many parcels in a day.” The notice details that the security guard, who has been working for seven years, informed the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) that his regular work was affected due to the “large numbers of parcels" he had to manage daily.

What did X users say about this post?

“They have a point. In India, we think that a security guard is the sole in charge of everything. Don’t treat him like your baggage collector,” posted an X user. Another added, “That is a reasonable request. Who gets 10-15 parcels a day?”

A third expressed, “There is nothing wrong in that request. How much effort does it take to be more thoughtful in a community living set-up? What if they ask them to come to the gate to collect their orders rather than allow the delivery person in?” A fourth wrote, “Why should security personnel receive any stuff? This is strictly prohibited in our society.”
