ZERO STARS! I would def not recommend this location to anyone!!! The staff was obnoxiously rude, and utterly disrespectful. They didn't earn my business today, and they don't deserve my future business.
POOR CUSTOMER FOCUS - I only went there because I returned from vacation to find that UPS had made a delivery attempt while I was away. The "Sorry We Missed You" note provided no information about the recipient, or the package, just the address of a nearby UPS Store - 13 Summit Square Center. On Saturdays, this location closes at 3:30, and it just was 3:10, so I jumped in my car to go there. En route, I also called to ask about the package.
LACKS BUSINESS ETIQUETTE & PHONE TRAINING - When I called, the clearly exasperated man who picked up the phone immediately said "UPS Store, please hold", with no opportunity to engage, or to ask a question. So, I waited, and waited, and waited on hold. I was literally pulling into the parking lot when he finally picked again, 5 1/2 minutes later. After about 2 minutes, I was beginning to think he had put me on hold, and had no plans of answering because of closing time. Five minutes seems like an eternity on hold - particularly with no music on hold or promotional messages - just air silence.
JUST PLAIN RUDE & DISRESPECTFUL - When he finally answered, he was clearly having a bad day, but did not have the professionalism or training to control his attitude or his tone. He asked my name and said there was no package in my name, and it would not be there if the note was delivered today. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell when the note was left because there was no date on the "Sorry we missed you" note. Further, my father-in-law, and housekeeper also live in my home, and have different last names, so the package might be in their names.
When I asked him to look for their names he got increasingly loud, frustrated, and rude - so much so that other customers were uncomfortable. Then he literally turned and walked away - a là "bye, we're done here". There was a woman employee who tried to de-escalate him but she was having troubles of her own, and he was just not receptive.
I have held several executive roles in Fortune 100 companies, and direct responsibility for nearly 500 sales people. If I had witnessed any one of them mistreating customers like that, I would have removed them from the situation immediately, and likely from the job.
There were several people in line and several people behind the counter, but it seemed that the entire staff was stressed and inefficient. One guy was just sitting behind the counter and not helping in any way.
Interestingly, there was a nicely printed sign that asked customers to "Please be patient with us as we have a computer......" but ironically, the staff was not the least bit patient with the customers.
I have 5 small businesses in the city, and we get our fair share of tough days, and rude and disrespectful customers. I assure you I was neither rude or disrespectful. I was shocked and incredulous that his behavior went unchecked. Nothing can justify this guy's berating tone and disrespect. The owner or franchisee of this location really needs to let this employee know that customers choose businesses based on products, services, and the overall customer experience. This employee gets an F- for horrible customer service. I will never willingly use this location again.
