[QUOTE="Star B, post: 4246298, member: 61246"] Let's drop class out of here and discuss this on the merits. Dollar Generals are everywhere in the rural areas around here. Those are the high dollar delivery areas where even the first attempt can be a money loser if the density isn't there. The recipients are the people that will request items be shipped by who is most convenient to them. If it is between a UPS redelivery 3x between "8 and 6, three days and then a 30 min car-ride into the "big city" to the closest UPS store" or an FXE/G "First attempt, goes to a DG in their local (two bars and a post office) town 10 minutes away, where I gotta go anyway to pick up my meth supplies", who do you think they are going to choose if given the option. I know it cuts down on the number of drivers due to reduced deliveries, but this is not a fight we as couriers should be crying about. Let's whine about our benefits, pay, and working conditions. If we whine about this change, the recipients will join with the company with labeling us as whiners because all they care about is getting their stuff quicker and more convenient, not the fact that there's one less driver in an area because the reattempts went down. The fact that the pups auto cxl on 0 scans is also an A+ in my book. [/QUOTE]
