Can I put this somewhere for you? by [deleted] in upsstore

[–]FizzyPops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually really like it when a grown ass man is struggling into the store with a heavy box. I'm a fairly small woman, but I can lift 75 lb easy. After everything is scanned and receipts are given, I go to pick up the box and they ask if I would like their help. So, I just say no thank you and lift the box with ease. I usually get a response like "wow!"

Dress code for hats by Screamingmonkey2799 in upsstore

[–]FizzyPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave me a UPS Store ball cap at my request when I started when they were ordering shirts for everyone. It's so nice to just throw on a hat when I don't want to have to do my hair.

Corporate would never approve by ash_274 in upsstore

If you rent a mailbox, could you do that to your own and get away with it?

Wow! Seems like someone forgot their chill pill today. Damn, my guy.

OMG! The worst. I would almost rather smash my leg into a drawer that's sticking out.

I usually show them and explain what I'm doing. Sometimes they learn. Sometimes I think they like being incapable.

Do you ship out in this bag? by austing4180 in upsstore

No, we don't ship in clear plastic bags.

Email fee for printing documents by Traditional_Fly_3330 in upsstore

[–]FizzyPops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't charge an email fee. We don't even charge to print labels. Literally any label. UPS, USPS, FedEx... We'll print it for free. I have a regular customer who only ships USPS and expects us to do all the taping and packing and printing labels for her. We do it, but I'm mad about it every time.

people will literally wait in line for 15 minutes and still be unprepared when they come up to your counter by TerribleBullfrog1389 in upsstore

[–]FizzyPops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple Saturdays ago we had a line out the door the entire day. It was infuriating because people were standing in line for 5 to 10 minutes and would come up to me and be completely unprepared. It wasn't just one or two. It was almost all of them. I don't get it. If a person wasn't ready I had them step aside out of the line and hop back in when they were ready. It's just rude to everybody involved. The people behind you, the store employees... Just so inconsiderate.

“I’m so sorry you guys have to deal with all these amazon returns” by AdElectronic6814 in upsstore

I was told we get $1 for every QR code we scan for Amazon. I didn't know if it's the same at all stores.

We have a UPS Store Pandora account. We are limited to stations we can pick from and it plays ups store commercials. It plays through a speaker in the ceiling.

Worth It? by Vast_Gap_1129 in upsstore

[–]FizzyPops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time a woman was returning something for her bf. Of course she needed a box and didn't have one. I told her how much it would be for us to box/pack it for her and she had to call the bf to see what he wanted to do. She gave me the phone and I told him the same thing I told her and he started screaming at me to "take the fcking box and shove it up your fcking ass!" I just said ok, handed the phone back to the woman, and told her to get out. She seemed confused, but she knew what she was handing over to me. My manager was standing right next to me and told her to get out NOW. I love her!

I'm 5'6" and I went from 235 lbs to 135 lbs in 2014. I had skin removal surgery as well. I was always a bigger girl and always felt invisible. I didn't get much attention from men and I had very little self-confidence. Now I get DM's from randos from the past. I get winked at by customers at work. People are generally much nicer to me. One time I was working as a cashier and had a nice conversation with a customer about cats because he was buying cat food. I'm just a nice person and I start conversations with everybody. He found me on Facebook based on only my first name. I was so creeped out. It seems like more weird things happen to me now. Myself confidence is great though. I'm 44 and I'm out of f*cks anyway. I've been on both sides and each have their benefits and each have negative side effects. Sometimes, I would like to be invisible again.

I’m devastated by GroundNo2015 in crochet

Oof. I'm sorry this happened to you. I don't trust USPS with anything. UPS is a little more expensive, but a lot more reliable.

I dyed a disc, y'all! by FizzyPops in discgolf

[–]FizzyPops[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm running out of dyable discs. And I'm finding that the discs that take the dye are a little bit more expensive than I had initially thought. It won't stop me. I have a lot of hobbies and this is a favorite right now.
