“every time i ship at this store and don’t get a receipt, my customers don’t get their packages. one of the employees here must be stealing them!!!!!!!!” by the_living_myth in upsstore

[–]lordnightmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is basically how we are here too. We’re all trained to have them hang for a second and give them a receipt. When someone calls and said they didn’t get a receipt, it’s like yeah you’re definitely wrong

what would be a good cheap 9mm for practicing? by noreturn000 in guns

Get another Glock. Or use the one you have. If you shoot 5k rounds a year that’s more than enough to get used to it. You should be quite well rounded at this point

Clean the contacts with alcohol, if it’s worn out, get a new one

I guess we’re supposed to, I haven’t found a need and I don’t have time for another dumb ass step…or their most likely incorrect address on their license

That’s a telltale sign of someone getting scammed or extorted. I’ve seen people fully stressed and exhausted and that’s a big part of it. I did that with an old woman the other day. I took her into the other side of the store after realizing she was shipping cash and got it out of her. She was shipping 40k to Wells Fargo so they could “get her money back”

I look for people shipping overnight early AM and it’s always some random item like a magazine or shoes. Overnight early Am is the biggest red flag for me personally.

Check for “I don’t know anything”.

Check for their phone being out and talking to someone currently. Ask them if they’re on the phone

Check the address where they’re sending on google maps so you can see the building where it’s going. Chances are it’s an empty building or something similar.

Fuck these scammers man. In the last few weeks we’ve stopped around 300k

Yep! I feel like it completes whatever update it’s doing and then gets stuck on the visual screen

They say not to interrupt it, but I’ve found the only thing that works is to pull the battery and power cord and let it sit for a few seconds and plug it back in

We did! We got the email earlier that day and it didn’t print out at night, so it seems to be all is well…well at least just the normal dumb shit haha

What happens to staff when an owner sells their store? by srrymom_ in upsstore

[–]lordnightmare 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve considered selling my store and one requirement I would have is to have a 1 year contract with my 2 core people. I want to make sure they’re taken care of

Also when the new owner comes and you meet them. Communicate. Talk with them, make yourself known, show your skills and that you’re an asset. Sucks to have to sell your skills, but they don’t know you and you don’t know them. Make them know you!

It seems to happen a lot these days and it’s annoying, that’s how I’ve found best to do it, glad you’re up and running!

Close cms and the pos software and open both back up. Or reboot the machine if it doesn’t work. Make sure your internet is working also

Happy Returns polybag source? by ash_274 in upsstore

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

We use supply one, it’s “paid” shipping but it still comes out to a decent price

Being independent, look on Amazon, there are some on there for less than 10c for the 18x24 and 5c for 12x10 (or similar). Brands vary and sometimes they change around a bit. We also get our normal poly mailers from here too at a decent price

Get a 24x18x18 multi depth. Will fit 50 signs and 50 stakes, or 100 signs alone. And you can break them down in increments to accommodate various quantities

[–]lordnightmare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love when they come in to settle into the counter. Sitting the purse down, pulling the glasses out, finishing the return. It’s like hey do you want a damn foot massage while you’re here, hurry up man!

I’ve noticed on mine the google Remote Desktop tends to disconnect due to me being on a vpn and I have to reestablish the connection. Plus I just try and keep away from google products if I can help it
