[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 295326"] I've never understood why UPS wastes it's time and money on clumsy tape guns. If I have to tape a box I can apply six lengths of tape to throughly seal two flaps together in about 15 seconds. Just hold the tape roll in one hand, apply the tape, and tear with your fingers using your fingernail to start the tear. It's simple. And, no, you don't need sharp or long fingernails. Anyone can do it. You don't need to use your teeth either. But then I've never understood why UPS buys special window cleaner for us to squeegee the windshields. All I ever use is plain water out of a squirt bottle. It works fine and there is no expense or harm to the environment. You only need a cleaner if you are "cutting through" dirt, or "lifting it out" of fabric, like when you get grease on your uniform. Then you need brake cleaner from the automotive shop. It's like magic. It also works great to remove yellow paint from brown package cars that scraped against a yellow post while turning into the overhead doorway. Just spray it on, hold your breath, and watch the Evidence Removal Fluid do its thing. I also don't use the soap UPS provides for washing package cars. Again, it is an unnecessary expense and just clogs the water recycling system and polutes the environment. Plain water works just fine. Does someone in Purchasing get a kickback for buying tape guns and window cleaner and vehicle soap, or what? [/QUOTE]
