Came across a very nosey and rude neighbor of a customer.

[9.5 everyday]

I have a customer who gets upset when I ring the bell and knock. He prefers that I do one or the other, not both.

Until you have a signature required and he doesn't answer. Then is pissed because he missed his very important package. We all have those people on our routes. I've been thanked more for being loud than scolded.

Stop, drop, & roll. So many customers come to the door before you drive off anyway 'cause they have MyChoice notifications. The service side of me wants to knock & wait 'til the door is answered/opened then hand a resi customer their stuff. Time killers though, man. The urgency of my route simply does not allow time for it.

The driver I'm with had one of those last week.

Integrad sounds like a week of useless crap you don't need. I mean, media interaction?

Anybody in here run into a news crew everyday to where that is necessary?

Better to be trained on what to say than possibly say something stupid on live television and end up in hot water.

"No comment" works for me.

Television news crews follow you around?

 

[rod]

Speaking from experience?

My whole neighborhood is wacko---we are all retired.

 

[Cementups]

Television news crews follow you around?

wouldn't you?!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

My whole neighborhood is wacko---we are all retired.

I'll bet they have all moved on.

Television news crews follow you around?

Just the one time---when I was hit by the car.

Did the news reporter catch the guy's name who hit you?

 

[rod]

Just the one time---when I was hit by the car.

So did the news blip on the nightly news begin "Idiot UPS driver doesn't know enough to look both ways"?

Perhaps low risk of occurrence, but high exposure should it occur. Better to be prepared.

At apartments I'll ring and knock. Don't know if the bell works in some of these dumps.

I hope you admitted that you had neglected to clear the intersection before proceeding.
