Had a driver recently get called in on that was swimming in a pool on lunch.... in his brown shorts.......not in his neighborhood he belonged to, but one that a UPS corporate person lived in.....he still works here but won't be doing it again.

Ask Klein if drinking while on lunch is ok.

You really think you wouldn't get in trouble? That's a guaranteed loss of job.
Something has to be clarified for some. Just because you're on lunch and off the clock, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want on or in UPS property, that being the PC.
On the other hand, if you were close to home and stopped in for lunch and felt the urge to bust one out, they can't stop you from doing that. LOL.
It should be obvious what is appropriate behavior in the PC, and what could get you fired. Don't masturbate, don't have sex, don't look at porn, don't do drugs, and don't drink alcohol in the PC. That basically sums it up.

Probably ok in uniform, but I wouldn't do it, and then you'd have to transport it in your truck and in the building so I wouldn't try it. If I got a bottle of alcohol as a tip from a customer I'd advise my sup to cover my
.Definitely ok if you're on lunch.
You'd be okay if it was on area and you were there to wash your hands, use bathroom or eat and not "partaking" in the adult entertainment in uniform. If out of uniform, and not servicing the strip club before or after lunch then I wouldn't park directly at the club.
I don't see how this breaks any rule.
Definitely okay.
Definitely okay. You need to be able to be fully relieved of all duty.
Gray area. If the other guy is in browns and is working that day but on lunch a termination wouldn't stick, but without management permission technically the other driver is an unauthorized passenger, so I would get permission first.
Bottom line, if you are on lunch and not in browns you can park your truck and go anywhere and do anything as long as when you return to work you won't be under the influence of anything that would impede your ability to drive safely...so no alcohol, etc on lunch. As for the browns, if a driver has a question in his mind about whether something they are doing is okay, don't do it in the browns. Just throw a t-shirt on and make sure you're not wearing visible ups socks.

That wouldn't be an issue. You're not on company time on lunch and not in a UPS vehicle so you're not an employee for that hour. Only issue is if you didn't get back to your truck on time. You'd have to notify your sup and then stay off the clock until you were back to your truck.

If you are a good delivery driver you CAN NOT stop for a lunch break. Lol.

I typically eat my lunch and read the paper or the BC. I don't have time in 30 minutes to go fishing or golfing.

In all seriousness, drinking on a lunch break, no matter what time of day you choose to take it, is the very last thing one should be thinking about. If you do, there are problems that belie simply having a beer after work.
And honestly, I have seen more than a couple of people busted for this in different buildings, firsthand. Nothing to play around with.
