Terrible experience at this La Crescenta location on Thursday April 25th 2019 at 9:20 am. Problem was with the tall white bearded man with the glasses. I provided my Amazon return package on the counter to have it scanned in and be provided with a receipt. Vey very standard procedure that I've done a hundred times in the last decade
The package was put on the scale, but before it was scanned, and upon asking for a receipt, beard guy told me "you don't need one, it's Amazon". He did so "dismissively", as if to say 'duh, you don't need one'. I politely told him that I know it's Amazon (there was no need for him to tell me that the item I purchased and was now returning was from Amazon, after all I bought it) , and for a second time, I asked him for a receipt, this time a bit more forcefully.
Beard guy misunderstood my forceful but polite persistence in requesting a receipt for a second time, for an "attitude". He told me, and I quote "what's with the attitude"? I was then pissed off. A guy I don't need or want to interact with more than is necessary, is refusing to give me a receipt which is standard operating procedure, and telling me it's Amazon, and then telling me I have an attitude problem. I don't need this shit when i return a package. Just scan it, give me my fan receipt, and let me be on my way
I informed him that since her refuses to give me a receipt, I will be filing a complaint, which this review is part of. I also plan to send an email about this situation to the UPS Store district manager
I grabbed my unscanned package and as I was exiting, beard guy continued to berate me on the way out by saying "I just want to know the reason for the attitude". I ignored him and proceeded out the door
I have never been treated this way at this store (or at any other package place) , and I've been returning Amazon packages here for a decade. And given the proximity of this store to other UPS stores, such as the one in La Canada, I have no need to come back, ever. I promptly took my package to the La Canada location. Upon entering, I was greeted by a nice hello from the Hispanic American guy with glasses and a beard
And get this: the NUMBER ONE THING the new beard guy asked me before I said anything was "do you want a receipt"? I thanked him and said yes, got my receipt, and walked out a happy customer. Easy transaction, with no unnecessary words, no berating, no accusation of attitude
From now on until bad beard guy gets another job (disgruntled UPS store workers like him don't usually last more than a year at their job), the La Canada location is my go to store. But if I find out the franchise is owned by the same owner, I will opt to take my Amazon packaged to a location elsewhere, so they don't get the credit for the shipment
Let ups store owner and manager be on notice, people don't put up with crap, and they have many choices of where to take their packages, even if they're just returns read more
