Ejecting a paying customer and threatening law enforcement without cause is unacceptable and damaging to the UPS Store brand. I am requesting owner review and confirmation of corrective action
UPDATE: I have already submitted a formal complaint via email and to UPS corporate offices. Corporate representatives assured me this incident would be handled and confirmed that the behavior described does not represent UPS standards.
For context, I have been a regular customer of this neighborhood UPS Store for over 10 years, with hundreds of visits. During this incident, a new individual, whom I understand may be associated with a recent acquisition of the store, informed me that I was "no longer allowed to enter her store," despite my calm demeanor and longstanding customer history.

As a customer who visits this location multiple times per week, I am requesting reassurance from the owner of this establishment that appropriate corrective action has been taken and that I will not be placed in another uncomfortable or hostile situation upon returning.
