What Do Package Drivers Really Appreciate For Christmas?

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I got $200 two years in a row for making sure a customer's packages got put into his business when he was out of the state. He trusted me with a key to his side door and the parts I delivered for him must have been expensive.
A bottle of water and a candy bar are nice but the cash was definitely at the top of our list for sure.

Did he leave you a stack of SDN's or did you "take care of the customer" by signing for him?

I usually say something like it pays to be union, I give ups no credit for the health insurance. They'd give us nothing if it wasn't for the union.

If the union did not provide coverage you would be covered under the company plan.

The OP should have the option to delete threads they have started.
@cheryl. especially when it has served it's purpose and has completely gone off the tracks.

Awww......did the thread morph to where it no longer fit your narrative?

Signature on file at the office.

UPS stopped doing that a long time ago.

Wrong again

Wrong again

We still do it and it gets noted at the address in the diad with the consignees last name and where to leave the delivery.

hmmmm, I've been participating in forums for 20+ years. Never seen one that works like that. To me the purpose of a forum is for the community to discuss content that will be interesting or useful to others. Your description seems to be serving only the person that starts a thread. It sounds better fitted to a chatroom where the content automatically expires.

okay fair enough but i run a group on Facebook and with groups on Facebook threads can be deleted. This forum is supposed to be helpful ( and fun ) for UPSers but 90% of the time it ends up in the gutter . By gutter I mean hateful and filthy . As you have probably noticed most of the most respected old time posters stay away for the most part. New members shy away from participating for fear they will be attacked and ridiculed and the ones that stay fit the mode of the lowest common denominator of the bullies and clowns that seem to run this forum.

It's sad to see the direction BC has gone. Just my observation.

Is this group comprised of others with fictitious careers at Fortune 500 companies?

That's what mods like me are for. To get the thread back on tracks.

It’s funny when a stripper (supposedly) doesn’t realize she IS one of the lowest common denominators. And then to talk of others being filthy also. You can’t get much dirtier than sliding naked or almost naked up and down a pole in front of random strangers throwing money at you. Now THAT’s funny!

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion...

I don't use facebook for my personal life, but I do run a couple of pages there. Here's one: BrownCafe: UPS info for UPSers

gave the driver a nice cash gift tonight. she acted embarrassed and said it wasn't necessary but i told her we thank her all the time but wanted to show our appreciation since this month she has been delivering to our house almost every day at 1930-2030 and even past 2100 most days.

we don't shop in stores anymore. everything is done online for Christmas.

We don't want to hear your life story or your problems yet you persist in telling us.

Don't delete the thread, delete the OP.

I would have preferred no tip at Peak. Always made me uncomfortable.
