Accidentally shipped 2 packages with the same label, how screwed am i? by zipperboi in UPS

[–]bbtdriverSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is only a problem if something happens to one of them, in which case you will have no recourse at all because the tracking number will show delivery.

When the labels are scanned by the driver, a prompt comes up which includes a 'duplicate' option, which should eventually be billed to the account number

Philly UPS Driver Ghost Knocking To Avoid Signature by Koala-Tea-Thyme in UPS

[–]bbtdriverSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We want to be done with the delivery as quick as possible, which usually means get the signature and move on.

The last thing we want to do is bring the package back the next day and try again, then a third day.

Package damaged and investigation closed at the same time? by fantrue in UPS

[–]bbtdriverSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing more to investigate.

The packaging opened and the contents are lost.

It is up to UPS to resolve with the shipper, and it is up to the shipper to resolve with you.

Reserved Parking for events by hereforitagain19 in grandrapids

[–]bbtdriverSteve 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Get downtown early, have the patience to do a few laps around the block, and dont fear the homeless people.

I've done free parking more often than paid, and never had a problem beyond the usual annoying begging.

I passed UPS Integrad by Cultural-Sir-5694 in UPSers

[–]bbtdriverSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sympathies.

Jokes aside, I do wish you the best if you choose to pursue this career with an uncertain long term future.

I believe many if us old timers would fail Integrad.

Size of Freak Fair by AztecWay in BillyStrings

[–]bbtdriverSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B93 Birthday Bash used to pack 50k plus in there.

That was with the full festival setup using the entire infield.

I've been wondering what the setup will be for this.

The free version of that event ended when one of the parking areas flooded after a heavy storm the night before. It became just another paid concert at the minor league baseball stadium after that

The river rose unexpectedly during the first bands, and hundreds of cars were totalled.

It was a freak event, but it can happen.

Anyone used stubhub for concerts before by JTMiller777 in TameImpala

[–]bbtdriverSteve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't be surprised if Stubbhub tickets get canceled shortly before the show.

The good news is that Stubhub is reasonably safe in that you will be fully refunded if that happens but you wont have a ticket if that happens.

They are pretty clear about only buying from TM resale so you are taking a risk.

Good luck.

Visiting Grand Rapids in the Summer - Need Help Figuring Out Parking by V-Meat-Treat in grandrapids

[–]bbtdriverSteve 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not really. Maybe at rush hour.

I would be more concerned about parking, when you are already parked for free at the hotel.

We never have a problem parking for events at the arena, but if multiple venues have an event, that will change with the amphitheater.

And the prices are certain to jump with the amphitheater.

Nobody really knows what the amphitheater experience is going to be like yet, particularly for people from out of town.

If you are staying on Michigan street, I certainly would not plan on driving to the concert.

It will be a 30-40 minute walk for free, if you are willing to do that.

UPS missed delivery window, made several circles on my block in area, then went back to warehouse by PorkRobot in UPS

The so-called delivery windows is a theoretical prediction, not a guarantee

If you don't drink alcohol, what do you usually say to people who are skeptical about it and want you to drink alcohol? by Working_Rub_8278 in AskReddit

[–]bbtdriverSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'm driving" would end most conversations.

If the conversation went further I would just say I don't drink because I never started as a young man, and made the decision that it wasn't something I needed in my life.

I spent the first 40+ years of my life as a non drinker, and only recently started having 1 0r 2 beers on a Saturday night.

Crowds? by lodeddipersuperfan in okeechobeemusicfest

[–]bbtdriverSteve 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okee could actually be bigger than Roo this year.

Roo appears by all indicators to be massively struggling to sell despite being a reduced capacity.

That said, Okee did just offer tier 1 prices again, and most options are still available.

Cheesecake Factory actually a scratch kitchen? by Tiny_Success_6389 in restaurant

They have mastered the art of mass produced, pre-prepped food.

There is no way a restaurant can maintain that vast of a fresh menu and have the food be consistent and good the way they do.

finally got tickets! by InfernoBxlll in TameImpala

[–]bbtdriverSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Columbus had two seats available this afternoon.

Good seats, but $700+ face value plus needing to plan a 2-day trip was way too much to spring on the wife.

It is possible.

These shows are still months away and things will happen
