[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 207633, member: 8657"] The dog and pony show came to Denver yesterday. We didn't go but a retired UPS manager friend of ours and his wife stopped by our house on their way back from the event. According to local management at the "party", the road show is hoping that more and more people attend each event as time progresses. Wherever the last one happened to be, (I forgot where they said it was) 3800 people attended it, and as of 4:00 p.m. yesterday, over 5000 people showed up at this one. It was catered by a local BBQ restaurant and the food was excellent. UPS hats, T shirts, tote bags, etc. were for sale and they were snapped up in minutes. Thousands of these things could have been sold but only a few were available. Shame on me and no offense meant towards anyone's ethnicity here, but my friends said the event looked like an occasion in Mexico City. The attendance was mostly hispanic. My friends sat at a table next to another table, both of which contained 19 members of one family. None of them spoke a word of English. It was the family of one of the UPS cleaning crew guys ([I]none[/I] of them speaks English) and the family included everybody from great grandma & grandpa in their wheel chairs to all of this person's siblings and their kids. Free lunch, anyone??? Nobody saw hide nor hair of Mikey but with that many people around, I'm sure he was there somewhere... [/QUOTE]
