    I’ve never had my ID checked at a school. I wouldn’t mind doing it though, because some of them have questionable procedures for letting delivery people in.

    I also haven't been checked at ANY school I've been to.

    Same here. I never thought about it, but it's kind of a no-brainer.

    Also never got carded going into a school. But the school I delivered to would not let me get past the admin window and any deliveries had to be left outside the main door.

    I guess certain schools have different security postures for allowing people in. My old high school makes cards you and makes you walk through a medal detector.
     
    misterG, Bob Dobalina and MACK E-6 Thank this.

    Would that be a gold, silver, or bronze medal detector? :biggrin_25523:

    I have a stop in an airport where I have to drive on the run way I can't believe they actually let me do that. Not that I ever would do anything, but it seems like the perfect way to get onto the cover of the rolling Stones.

    I do have to drive on a defined path parellel to the airplane run way, and I'm not allowed to leave it except to make my u-turn to turn around and head back towards the entrance.

    They don't card me
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.

    Many of the schools I have delivered to make you stand in front of a camera and get permission to enter through a call box. Then are only allowed, sometimes by walls, to get to the main office. Where you are then escorted to where you need to be.
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.

    All of the schools we deliver never have locked doors just back up prop the door open and wheel it in. The only ones that aren't like that we do at night with keys.

    They’re all going that way now. I haven’t seen one where you can just walk in and roam around in quite a few years.
