How a pick-up is supposed to take place instead

After pointing out the worst mistakes above, we’d now like to give some constructive advice on how to establish the most pleasant atmosphere possible while dealing with employees of stores.

We are friendly, polite and work efficiently.
We are silent and don't take much time.
We abide by the rules and wishes of the store.
We wait for each other in front of the store and enter together.
We bring our own bags and boxes to transport the food.
We have good communication in the pick-up team to know about possible special circumstances.
We cancel a pick-up at least 24h before it is supposed to take place, if need may be. If that does for some reason not work out, we independently find a replacement.
We tidy up the location of the pick-up as good as we can.
