This shop has been getting UPS pick up and delivery for years yet each new driver isn’t told that the shop is open from noon till 7 PM six days a week.
Welcome to the brave New world of the 21st Century!
Delivery folks are so rushed by their taskmasters they don't have time to read anything like "hours" or "special instructions"
EVEN IF IT WAS NOTED ON THE PACKAGE, OR ARCHIVED IN THE DELIVERY SYSTEM
The delivery guys are neither told nor given proper written instructions... Just what fits on their little computer pad thingy...
And I know from experience the UPS guys have a set number of seconds they are given to deliver a package, which includes driving to the store, parking, RUNNING into the building, get the req'd signature, RUNING back to the truck, OMG He could not park in the yellow striped no parking zone right in front? Too bad. Traffic? Too bad. No parking at all? Too bad. So the driver is dinged. Exceeded his time.
Start of an already late delivery day. Not done by 5pm ? Too bad, keep going till truck is empty. Even if 9 pm. And since he is "anindependant contractor" ( new work rules dontcha know) he has no choice.
And the delivery times allowed? They are set by a stopwatch holding bean counter that did the route ONCE years ago, during times of no traffic, and deliberately design it so they park absolutely in front in no parking zones or illegally double or tripleparked, and assume that the delivery guy goes straight to the counter, no waiting for other people, and the counter person signs off immediately without taking time to examine the packages....
Ask me how I know.
At least we don't have flying cars
They would be crashing into the houses!
Oh, and Kent...
CONGRATS!!!
Hope you enjoy!
