[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1166748, member: 22880"] [I]Something like what the OP put up would be PRIME for an old style Express commercial (make it a Ground commercial this time). [/I] Begin scene - Driver standing outside apartment building and saying to himself, "Eighth Floor.....!!!!" (Driver goes inside, elevator out of order). "Just my lucky day" (Climbs stairs, panting and sweating and door is opened by little old lady) "Well thank you young man!" Cut scene Week later, same driver, same location. (Driver takes deep breath and climbs stairs). (Little old lady appears at the door) "Thank you again!". Driver: "I'll have a different way to get your package to you next time, if you don't mind" Lady: (Puzzled look on her face), "Alright" Cut scene Next week, driver standing outside apartment, this time with a big grin. Pan down to a small battery powered toy helicopter. Small package is placed into basket and camera pans back up to eighth floor balcony where little old lady is standing. Driver (Powers up copter and lands it on customer's balcony table). Lady (Takes package and waves) copter flies back down to Driver and scene cuts to truck driving away. Next week, same routine as last, except lady put a little something in basket for driver Cut to driver eating one of little old lady's cookies and saying something to the effect, "Hmmm, pretty good". Scene fades as truck is driving away and driver's voice is heard, "Best tip I've ever received".. End Commercial. could be done in 30 seconds if imagery is done right with quick cuts [I]This is something that marketers just EAT UP. If I was this driver, I'd write up a synopsis of what he did (leave out the inappropriate discipline), and send it in to FedEx Media Relations:[/I] 942 South Shady Grove Road Memphis TN, 38120 Not trying to promote FedEx in the least, but our OP may be able to get himself some 'coin' for his true story (and make that people of a 'manager' look real foolish). If this all really did happen, it just points to the fact of how far away FedEx has gotten away from what it once was. About 15 years ago, its seems Fred was assimilated by the Borg and wants to assimilate all 'drones' under his power. Resistance is Futile!!!! God forbid that anyone who draws a paycheck from FedEx should think outside the box and use their brain - that's dangerous in the current FedEx... [/QUOTE]
