[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 529932, member: 22760"] The counter was at times ok as I filled in years ago while a split driver in another district. I transfered to The Meadowlands as a clerk/rewraper untill I was able to transfer closer to home.I did not like when I was told to lie to customers about their pkgs not being held or for whatever reason they did not have it at the counter.the 800 # told them 1 thing and the ctr another..I was the Punching Bag. Little by little it seemed like Ups wanted to push the customers away to the stores Imo,And the 8 and skate was a joke when I had to tell people tough! I had to close and I had to send people around to the security gate to get their pkgs. The security shack was about a 12 x 15 bldg with the scanners.No place to wait.Cold or hot they had to wait outside in their cars and I would pass them on my way out. The guards were getting a earful for the centers and 800#'s mistakes..Almost had fights as the counter I was in was a trailer. Fill it with 40 people on a Friday night and once someone gets in a shouting match at me they all Jump on the bandwagon.Samedays were not being done when I went to counter. I felt bad after someone waits and waits and then you see a destination scan and it is loaded into a trailer..Come back Monday was not the answer they wanted to hear.
