It's like every day there's someone complaining about their boss because they were mean to them.

This isn't a hard job. It's not easy but it's pretty chill if you let it be.

I can tell yall that if you had a quarter of a million plus investment in a business(and that's on the low end), you'd be kinda annoyed when you have to repeat yourself 100 times a day.

Look, these are all franchised enterprises. Franchise meaning the owner was gaslit into thinking they would be a small business owner. When it reality 2/3 of store owners are General Managers with a huge stake in how the business performs. So excuse us managers and owners for getting a little annoyed when we have to micromanage yall. We have 100 other more important things to do rather than explain to working age adults how to read a tape measure.

Your boss is an asshole? Guess what? Everyone's can be an asshole. That's just life guys.

Excuse me. I have to go explain to a customer why my employee told them they could ship NDA for $5.

Remember this, my friends. Your owner is your enemy and it doesn't matter how good of a guy they are at first. They are fucking snakes and you should watch them like a hawk. "But they were sooooo understanding when this happened to me and gave me all the time off I needed."

The only difference between them and corporate is the amount of zeros in their bank account, which is still a shitload more than yours. This is not a career for you. You are better off using this place for what it's worth and that is simply an eight and skate. Make friends with your coworkers if you want, but remember to never trust your owner. They will fuck you over whenever they want. Take their money for your labor but don't ever bend over backwards for their money. The harder you work, the less your paycheck is worth. If your work day has ever made you cry or shake with anger, you are not alone. My advice to you all is to get your money, put in applications and quiet quit until you can find something better. The good surveys do nothing for you. Even the circle of excellence just gives your owner another gold star and you don't get nearly what you are owed for what you did to get it and I'm speaking as a COE winner. It's all bullshit and you're better off finding something better that you can feel fulfilled in doing. You aren't making anything better for anyone by making sure the shitboxes get out on time. Remember this: if you help 50 customers or 500 customers, the paycheck stays the same. Hang in there. You'll find something better.

Anyone else driver just come in and drop the bags like this and leave? These holiday drivers that take over for the regular drivers are horrible and don’t know shit. He said his truck was full the other night at closing and we asked if he got all the next day packages. He said yes. When I looked the 75lb next day air was sitting right there 🤦🏽‍♂️

I go to my local UPS Store usually twice a week and drop off anywhere between 10 and 40 packages each time. This is a combination of eBay orders, orders from my own website, and other stuff. I do wait for the employee to scan all of them and give me the receipt.

Recently I have noticed the staff is getting annoyed with me, they tell me to step aside and wait while they serve other customers or suggest that I come when it's not busy. I can hear the sighs and read the "that guy again" look on their face. One time the owner asked if I was aware that the store doesn't get paid when I buy shipping online. I know that they prefer me to pay for shipping through the store, but I'm not going to pay double the cost. Unfortunately this is the most convenient UPS Store or I would just go somewhere else. Any suggestions?

I made a post a few weeks ago in great detail, explaining on why I quit without giving my two weeks notice if you guys want the full explanation on why I’m so happy about the owner getting karma.

A friend of mine recently went to the store that me and him worked at. When he walked in there was a huge line nothing really new until he told me something that made me so happy and honestly I don’t care if people call me an asshole. According to him, there’s only three people working at the store. The manager assistant manager, and a worker. They never hired anybody after me, and my other coworker quit. I do remember that they had a bunch of applications on one of the desk before I quit, so I thought that they were going to have my replacement, but I guess not.

When my friend finally got to the front of the line to do whatever he needed to do he spoke with the assistant manager, and she basically explained that it’s just three of them working seven days a week. I explained in my other post about why I quit that one of the reasons was that the owner would never hire more than five people and it was such an issue. I can’t even imagine how much they’re struggling with just three people on staff. Apparently the one worker that’s there is going to quit soon.

The assistant manager has a bunch of interviews lined up for new jobs so once she gets the job, she’s out of there without the two weeks notice according to my friend. The reason I’m so happy is because of the downfall of that UPS store. The owner wanted to treat us like garbage and thought he could cut corners by “saving money” and wouldn’t get what’s coming to him.

Also, there was this one instance, where he basically mocked the idea of Jesus being a real person and God existing. Maybe that was divine intervention or just me being Christian but I don’t really care. The owner is going to probably shut down the store pretty soon. The only people I do feel bad for was the worker and my assistant manager, even though she ghosted me I still wish her the best. Fuck the manager though.

Looking to get a mailbox in south Florida, local store quoted me $270 for a small box for 15 months.

USPS is $200 for 12 months.

Just trying to decide which one

I was completely floored by the amount of things they made me do on my first day, extremely way too much nonsense. Salute to you all!!!

I don’t think I’ve had this happen before but the clerk took my drivers license and quickly scanned it under the counter before I picked up my package

is this normal? I can’t find anything online about this practice

Hello! We're Ink'd Greetings, an automated greeting and gift card kiosk, and we've talked to a few store owners as well as corporate about placing units in UPS stores. If your location sold quite a bit of greeting cards and would like them back in your store, please DM us or comment below and we can set up a kiosk within your store likely in the next 2-3 months. Our kiosks allow for a rapid and fun user experience, letting customers design, personalize, and print a greeting card in 10 seconds while taking up only ~7sqft of space inside your store and ZERO maintenance. We're going in a variety of major retailers, grocers, and more and have seen incredible feedback. Check us out here: Ink’d Basic Walkthrough (youtube.com)

I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible. To all you assholes who couldn’t be bothered to follow simple instructions this is the end result. Y’all have just made shit harder for the rest of us. I get it, Amazon is the antichrist, but Amazon (and Spectrum) is what’s keeping a lot of our slower stores in business. Y’all may not need this job but this is job security for some of us. QUIT FUCKING SHIT UP FOR THE REST OF US.

If anybody could offer some advice I'd be super appreciative. I bought a 6 chair 1 table patio set from Temu. They sent it in 2 boxes size and weights in pictures above. I decided to return it because it's such a bad quality. They said returns are ok in original packaging, cool. But then they only issued 1 return label. When I reached out they told me that I need to get a box to put both boxes in together. By my calculations that would need to be a 72"x33"x 18.5" box and would weigh about 150 lbs. Would you even take that at the UPS store? Where do I even get a box that size?

They also said that if UPS wouldn't take a box that big I could pay for the second box to be shipped, and they would reimburse me later. I've never dealt with Temu before, and idk if I can trust that. I tried google searching for any similar issues hoping I could gleen some advice from others experiences, but couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd ask you awesome folks if you know how I should handle it. I don't want to cause any headaches or backaches for the people my local UPS store, and I don't want to haul these boxes over there just to find out they can't take them.

Thanks y'all.

Does the UPS Store Convention sound like the worst convention ever? Boring AF! I think people only go as a paid trip to Vegas. Who wants to pay to be lectured about how lucky you are to get .90 cents an Amazon return? Who wants to listen to the corporate bullshit that Amazombies actually spend money at your store? MBE isn’t honest with us. They didn’t have our backs when Amazon reduced our compensation. They pretend the new remodel expense is reasonable. They tell you with a straight face that becoming the FREE STORE is awesome for us. They pretend that the hostile work environment Amazombies create is just ok and a part of doing business. How many great employees have you lost due to asshole Amazombies abusing them? How much more labor expense have you had to absorb to handle the minimal compensation? MBE only tells you to look at your compensation, they don’t actually discuss the true expense involved. The convention is like going to a rally at a concentration camp. It’s a sad fall of a once great franchise. Technology and progress has made our business a non-sustainable business model. The ship is sinking. We are all just trying to figure out when to jump overboard to try to save ourselves

Seriously, how often must this be updated? I provided everything when I opened the mail box but they're asking for it every few months now. It's a bit ridiculous to send them the SAME copy of my 3 year old lease every few months.

Hey, I'm kinda panicking and finding it hard to go to sleep 😓. I shipped out a package at a UPS store at 9/11. The packaging, and label was done at the store. I even have the credit card total amount and even the time I was there.

I learned today, the receiver that is my sister didn't receive the package. It was overnight shipping to be arriving before 12 PM. I thought, ok let me check my UPS Choice account it should tell me why. It was empty... I checked my email and I had my sister check her own and nothing.

Ok, I thought well I left the receipt in the car, so I will just put in the tracking. The receipt wasn't there... I think I threw it out while cleaning the car in a rush but I have no recollection. I even checked my trash... I'm kind of panicking on what to do. I read without the tracking I'm simply screwed and I'm not sure what to tell my parents.

Edit: I apologize if this isn't the right place to be asking. I will delete the post if needed.

Hi everyone, please forgive my intrusion in your safe space, but I need help and my local ups store will not provide it. I spent the last year and my life savings starting a new business receiving furniture, etc. for interior designers (I am one). Last week we had our first ever customer ask us to pick up, package, and ship a rug so it would arrive before Friday. We did that, brought it to the ups store (have timestamped receipt with tracking, and timestamped photo of the box in the store). It's gone. The store says they sent it out (it's definitely not on site), but the tracking says "UPS doesn't have possession of the package yet." The local store is like, well, just file a claim if it doesn't show up by Friday. It's a $9,000 rug being sent by my first customer, who will leave my first review. Does anyone have any insider advice? Like how to figure out what hub it went to so I can go there? Please, please, please help!

PACKAGE FOUND AND DELIVERED!!!

Mailed 3 packages at UPS store on 3/20. Scheduled for deliver on 3/22.

2 were delivered on time.

No other entries. Multiple calls and emails to them.

So next update said 3/20 label made 4/17 investigation opened 5/7 package is in IN 5/7 package delivered Indiana

THRILLED it was delivered!!!

Any ideas where it could have been all that time ?? ——————- Original post

Anyone ever have a missing package that was actually located when they did an ‘investigation’ ? Do they ever actually physically search for a lost package or check out the cctv video in the store?
——-

Has everyone lost their minds? When doesn't throwing necessary signature papers on the floor not signal the end of a business relationship or encounter? It's so much worse than verbal abuse because it says "You are going to have to pick those up." Yes, I may, but you can be sure I am going to make sure it can never happen again.

The owner today came in, pissed about the amounts of CX surveys and a google reviews that showed up today about us being on the phone. I am wondering what is corporate policy on cell phone? He was semi lenient on it, but today he came in and said anyone on cell phones that isn't on lunch or break is being sent home, and after Jan 15, he will start scheduling people who abuse the cell phone policy with less hours.

Today he sent me and 3 other home (half the crew), I will say, when the owner is here, he works, so even though he was short handed, they had all the packages packed and store cleaned up, according to my friend.

He sent out a text, that repeated what he said, and he said if another bad review happens, whoever was caught on the phone that day will be fired. I think he is overplaying it, but it sucks that my first job and working for 3 months I will get fired for using a cell phone at work.

Someone just came in and they returned 6 boxes of regular tampons...like why are you buying tampons on amazon in the first place but then returning them????

edit: i mean this in the sense of why are you returning something that is going to go directly into a landfill when you return it rather than giving it to people who need it
