[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 2550487, member: 6408"] Didn't have UPS here when I was in school. Think REA was the big mover, then. UPS didn't come to this state til '71. Didn't even HEAR of UPS til construction hit a snag (I was a heavy equipment operator and getting stunted to 8 hrs and no OT). Wanted out. Friends were saying to go to UPS. "What the hell is THAT?" Saw package driver deliver to big K-Mart close to where we were leveling a hill. Parked my machine, ran down and asked if they were hiring. Driver said, "He's the one to talk to". Unlucky for him, he had a rider that day. Talked to him and he, arrogantly smirked, "You'll never get on here". A month later when center manager was walking me around the building in a pre-hire tour, I got "re-introduced" to this guy. I said, "Oh, you're the one that said I'd never get hired here?". That was '78. He got shipped out-state for transgressions here, got fired shortly after. I retired 32 years later. [/QUOTE]
