Does UPS have no idea who they send these to?

[QUOTE="sailfish, post: 2840355, member: 53248"] In the latest issue of InsideUPS (Spring 2017) there's an article that goes into the implementation of Saturday Ground. But instead of a strictly informative article, it's almost like it was written for consumer appeal (people who aren't going to be reading it anyway). The issue is full of cheesy koolaid-induced buzz phrases like "A New Day For Ground Deliveries", "It's a Saturday thing", and "Consumers Ask; UPS Delivers". The photo heading the article shows an assumed mother and daughter looking at each other with overzealous joy over an open UPS package. An adjacent photo shows a driver in all smiles while making a delivery. [I]"Yay! Mommy gets her Amazon sh* on Saturday now!"[/I] [ATTACH=full]133568[/ATTACH] From what I've gathered on Brown Cafe, Saturday Ground implementation has been hairy: long time bid routes being changed, large unfamiliar coverage areas, tremendous cuts on Mondays resulting in dead days for full-timers, as well as some 13-hour Saturdays. And I haven't read about it on here but I expect six-day part-timer abuse as well. Yet with all things considered, they send this publication out to us in a format like's it's something [I][B]we[/B] [/I]are supposed to get excited about. We are not the consumers reaping only the benefits of this, nor are the majority of us drunk on brown koolaid. Just my long-winded observation. [/QUOTE]
