I had an item I had to return to an online store, and was provided a shipping label. I had the original box it came in and all that, but didn't have tape. Not something I have a big use for in my life. I thought no problem, they can help me out at the UPS store. They won't be jerks. I remember long ago shipping a package, and the guy was like oh yeah let's secure that a little more, and preceded to whip out his tape gun and go to town.
Well, that was then. So more recently I'm going into the UPS store to get this package returned. I'm feeling kind of anxious, but there's two guys working the counter and one of them seems super friendly. He's helping this lady get her stuff sorted, and taped up. And I thought oh good, this wont be too bad. They're obviously friendly.... or well, at least that one dude was.
See, there were two guys there, and one guy was obviously friendly, and the other wasn't. By any measure. And that's the guy I got stuck with because some other lady came in and managed to cut the line. I wish I had actually said something, because I got stuck with the non-nice guy.
He made it uncomfortable from the start. A bit rude and forceful, like I was wasting his time. And as we're sitting here going over this, that other dude is in the background helping that other new lady tape up some stuff. And the dude I'm talking to tells me I need to buy a whole roll of tape, they can't provide tape. I'm just looking at this other dude helping that lady and thinking... what??! Like are you that big of a jerk that you'd sit there and do that while your coworker is showing the opposite??
I didn't want to buy the whole role of tape. I didn't need a whole role of tape. I just needed the package shipped, and thought they'd help me out, but they didn't. They just didn't. It was an uncomfortable situation and it felt like they forced me into buying a whole role of tape I didn't need.
And it's like... I didn't need the roll of tape, so I left it there. And the guy is like you gonna take your roll?! Well, like dude. I didn't need it. You're the one that made me waste money on it because you've got a stick up your back end. Because obviously your coworker doesn't have the same level of issues when it comes to helping people.
In closing. This location has a lot of one star reviews for a reason. I hope the staff from this location actually reads these reviews. I don't think they will respond, but if anyone from UPS does read this, just know that the staff at this location is awful, they're awful people that are difficult to work with, and hurt your customer base with how they treat customers.
If you're a customer thinking you're going to go in here and be helped, think again. They want your money, but they don't want your business, or your pesky little consumer needs. Just give them your money, and leave them alone; that's their attitude. read more
