Apartment building front desk and parcel lockers

weekday evening20 itemsAI audio0/16 complete
A brightly lit apartment lobby during a weekday evening. A resident in casual attire stands at the front desk, holding a paper delivery notice and a smartphone while reaching out to pick up a package. She is in the process of showing her driver's license to the attendant to show ID. The attendant, wearing a uniform, leans over the marble counter to check the name and address on the shipping label of the box. Next to the desk, a wall of metallic parcel locker units glows with a screen where residents can scan the code to retrieve their items. The resident is prepared to sign for the delivery on a digital pad for a signature. In the background, the secure glass door of the mailroom is visible, and the attendant's screen shows the tracking number and proof of delivery for the resident's items. The scene indicates a space where couriers frequently deliver to various units.
