This is the absolute worst UPS store I've ever been to, and literally one of the most horrific encounters I've ever had with an individual. I won't sugarcoat it. The owner is rude, confrontational and aggressive! I've never seen anything like it.
My wine subscription was rerouted here awhile back (unsure why as I was home both times when the attempted deliveries took place). Not a big deal, but I was unable to pick it up at the time. My daughters live 4 minutes from this location so I asked them to grab it for me (both over 21+) and even provided them with my drivers license. I also called UPS, and they told me the parcel was undeliverable and would be rerouted to this specific store. They gave me the info I needed to allow my daughters to pick up my package and made notes to the account. Long story short (but not really), the owner refused to turn over the package to my daughters so they walked out of the building and called me right away. I asked them if they would FaceTime me so I could talk to him, but they begged me not to make them go back inside as he had been extremely argumentative and unpleasant to deal with. My daughters don't like even the slightest bit of awkwardness or confrontation, so I chalked it up to them just being overly dramatic and figured I'd do it myself the next day.
So the next day arrives, and I make the trip over to this location. The owner's son was at the counter and assisted me with retrieving my package. While he was scanning the box I tried to make light conversation with him and assumed it would be the appropriate time to ask why my daughters were unable to pick up the package for me the day before. I was hoping to find out what we needed to do to make for an easier transaction in the future, but he was very quiet and seemed not to know how to answer me but did state that he didn't know why they weren't able to. I then just assumed that it was because of the contents inside the box. Mind you, I was not rude or impolite or nagging in any way while speaking to the young man. That's just not my MO. I don't like upsetting people and am a firm believer of treating others the way you'd like to be treated. Guys, I'm that mom that invites all the kids from my son's football team to his birthday party (including the kid that STOLE expensive underwear from him in our own home) because I don't want anyone to feel left out. Lol! Anyway, his dad (the owner) overheard our conversation, proceeded to grab a laminated flyer of some sort, waved it in my face while poking at it, and claimed that the only person that could pick up a package was the person named on it (fyi it does not state this on the flyer he was flapping around in my face). I was taken aback and told him that on the UPS website it lists the steps to take to allow another person to pick up for you. He then started yelling, "WHERE?! WHERE?!" so I pulled up the link to the info that he apparently wanted to see on my phone and tried to show it him, but he neglected to even take a glimpse at it and continued shouting into thin air, "WHERE?! WHERE?!" The man was so hostile that I asked what his and his son's names were so I could have all the info I needed to report his location to UPS, but he began screaming at his son not to tell me (although the young man was able to state that he was the son and that his name was (maybe) Caleb).
This grown man's behavior was so incredibly ridiculous and childish that it was laughable...so that's exactly what I did. I laughed at him and asked why he even bothered asking where I saw the info if he had no intention of even looking at it and why his policies were different from UPS. He was obviously ticked off by my uncontrollable giggling that he literally told me to SHUT UP over and over again, which then lead to a major screaming and cussing match in front of another customer and his own son (who wouldn't even so much as glance at his father; it felt as if this was pretty much routine behavior that he was witnessing). The whole encounter was so uncomfortable and completely asinine! All he had to do was answer a simple question.
At the start of this interaction I'd assumed that maybe there was just a language barrier. My mother is 100% Asian and sometimes has a hard time translating her thoughts into English so she uses improper words or hand gestures and whatnot (hence the man poking and waving the laminated flyer in my face)...but after witnessing his temper tantrum it's very clear that this guy is just a major narcissist and makes up his own rules as he goes. His demeanor toward costumers is dreadful...absolutely frightening! He is an uncooperative NIGHTMARE and a HUGE embarrassment to the UPS name. The owner of this establishment has no regard for common, human decency and should be ashamed of his conduct. I get having a bad day, but take that attitude elsewhere. There's no excuse for poor customer service.
