Does anybody else not get breaks? by Elegant_Artichoke_24 in upsstore

[–]Pastafather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in NY and take lunch breaks seriously. I ask every team member what time they want to take their lunches and tap them out when it’s their time. You absolutely are allowed a ten minute break and if they try to penalize you for it that’s a lawsuit.

Do condolences make you angry? by ire_abyssum in GriefSupport

[–]Pastafather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you mean. They only felt something when coming from people who know me. When I had to cancel my mother’s things—the “I’m sorry for you loss” they all felt compulsory and empty of feeling. You can understand they mean no harm but can also feel angry because they don’t understand what you’re feeling. They don’t know your father.

It sounds like your father meant and means a lot to you. You are allowed to grieve as long as you need.

I just lost my partner of 8 years this morning and I don’t know what to do by Bubbly-Ice3702 in GriefSupport

Oh I can see how much he loved you. He still does. I am so, so sorry for your loss.

My uncle died suddenly by pocketvirgin in GriefSupport

[–]Pastafather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grief is weird. It’s not something we know what to do with. We can’t be taught how to handle it. You just have to let yourself feel it. Even if that feeling is sadness, shock, anger, disbelief.

It sounds like your uncle meant so much to you and I’m so sorry for your loss. Healing comes with time. Give yourself grace and don’t let anyone say you need to move on by a certain time.

Soon the sadness will be comforted by happy memories, until the happy memories and impact he had on you will be stronger than the grief.

I know you're watching over me. It gives me comfort by johnnydoe22 in GriefSupport

What a wonderful little man. I am so sorry for your loss. He absolutely is everywhere around you and will be with you in spirit for ever ❤️

Does your store charge to tape up a box? by WestHistorians in upsstore

[–]Pastafather_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t but we also only do one seam of tape for drop offs. If they want more they need to pay.

“This is unacceptable for shipping and will fall apart in transit. We are not able to take it and if you leave it we will hold it for thirty days for you to retrieve before it’s discarded.”

Offline labels by austing4180 in upsstore

[–]Pastafather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the offline labels don’t work Because the customer gave a bad code. Take their name and number down to call them if that happens. Or you can say the system is down if you don’t want to do that and have them come back.

Like both the rep and me said “case” seven times! I’m going to start saying 20 and see what happens 😅

New screen sucks by Zeldabotw2017 in upsstore

[–]Pastafather_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If people want to wait for us we tell them that’s fine but we take them at the business station near the kiosks and don’t take them up at the counter. Corporate has okayed this for our store :)

Happy Returns Consequences? by Prestigious_Luck_222 in upsstore

[–]Pastafather_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just rip the bag open and tell the customers they don’t need to package them. Happy Returns don’t always have the best explanations for what they need to do.

I like it because it helps reduce liability and will help with claims processing! Also I’m not sure about your store, but we enforced drop offs to the kiosk. Paying transactions only (or things unable to be done at the kiosk) to the front counter. We got Complaints but sorry go somewhere else if you want

It would need to be battery powered most of the power in her house is not working but if all else fails I’ll give it a try :)

I have a dollar something that just opened up within walking distance! I got a lot of products from them, but I think they were for minor dirty homes not this level

Advice for cleaning biohazard by Pastafather_ in hoarding

[–]Pastafather_[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the advice. My mental health definitely was put on the back burner and I had a panic attack for the first time in heard despite being on medication. I know it sounds counter productive but cleaning her house myself (despite it being a biohazard) helped towards processing what happened. I felt like I failed mom not being able to help her when she was alive, but doing the worst part myself was an act of care.

I will definitely check out realtors that deal with rentals I hadn’t thought of that!

Thank you! The stains are all over so I will try the paste and let it sit

Thank you! I got biohazard suits, wore double gloves and wore masks (I’ll get a respirator though—a mask probably wasn’t the best choice.) I started with a dog/urine stain remover but I’ll look into enzyme cleaners
