But she was nice about it
She did not chap my butt (or my balls)

Malls are the toughest to do blind but the easiest once you get the hang of it. One of the malls I cover has 5 department stores and I have the personal phone # for every receiving person. I text 5 min before del/pu and they're ready. You gotta be on the same page or else there's too much dead time.

Tough. If they aren't ready don't come back. They'll be ready next time.

I would never use my personal phone to call a customer on my route. I have one pickup that is a good 20 minutes off trace in the afternoon. They rarely have anything. I drive out there every day. It's what I get paid to do. The first week or two I was on my route they asked why I didn't just call them.

Sorry I was trying to mulit quote some things from upstate and I guess it didn't work...

You should convert them to a smart pickup.

Yep they pay for you to come by... Good for you also with them so hot to trot on firing people for not being at a stop before closing it out...something I don't do either... Always go by

I wouldn't either on that route.

They're always ready now.

Easy for a cover driver to say.

Converting a customer to a SmartPickup is above my paygrade

"I have a customer who wants to convert to a Smart Pickup."

Hand phone to customer.

No different when I had my own route. Customers don't get trained by crawling on our knees in front of them.

I'm not sure if this is a customer issue...more like a ups cost cutting measure

A customer wasting my time by not being there to receive the packages or not having their pick up ready is a customer issue.

If you have a smart up and you don't go there for a day or two does the customer get a discount on their bill
