[QUOTE="Ancient Alien, post: 3612489, member: 70963"] Old timers are correct when they say that most of the public supported UPS workers in 1997. Today is different. The public is not near as jovial seeing their UPS driver for several reasons. Less customer contact time today. In the 90's folks would order out of catalogs and the shipping window time was often 4-6 weeks and when it arrived in 15-days they'd come out of their shop elated to see you. Nowadays they order dog food on their Amazon Prime account on Sunday and it arrives Thursday and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE! Back in the 90's... very, very few deliveries nationwide were delivered after 7:30pm... nowadays some loops are set up to deliver after 6:30pm every day. Yet, here's the biggest difference that none of you here even think about. In 1997, UPS was private. It went public in 1999 and NOW corporate is persuaded heavily by Wall Street. Large institutions control the direction and WALL STREET HATES UNIONS. This isn't me saying this... it's the truth. Don't shoot the UPS Messenger! Sleep on it... [/QUOTE]
