    Shop n Save grocery store in Ambridge, PA has this set up in place. They have an outside "scissor lift" type of dock and the "stoplight" turns red inches from the platform. Definitely a cool setup.

    That's cool. But I'd be afraid someone would steel the box on the light or aa dock worker would remove it

    I use my face. I point it at the light and stare it down until it turns green. Been working pretty well so far.

    But then you would have to steal another drivers, then him another and it just goes on and on till no driver has their original box and there freely stolen and re stolen.

    I just wish places would come knock lol place I was at last night did. Got a good nap in. Woulda been better if he didn't bug me to come out and put a glad hand lock on tho lol
