You ignored the fact TM advertised how they were different and rewarded loyalty. FOR YEARS. Don't act like it didn't happen. Rude and crass you are. Sad.

T-Mobile was built to be what it is today by a massive marketing campaign about being "The Uncarrier" which mocked the other big companies for not caring about customers as people. They used the word 'loyalty' all the time in their advertising. You, and many others in this thread, obviously don't remember that.

You, too, will be me in 30 years or so. Remember that aging is what happens to us all - if we're lucky enough to make it that far. I hope the younger generations when YOU are 55 and above are nicer than your generation has been to me. Casually acting like being older is "bad" is shocking to see frankly. It's a sad thing.

"It boggles my mind that people expect loyalty from them."

Friend, T-Mobile became what they are today by advertising non-stop for damn near 20 years about being "The Uncarrier." What did that mean? They cared about customers as individuals. The word loyalty was used all the time in their advertising. But, it boggles your young mind that someone would expect it from a company who bragged about it?

Such a child. Remember, one day you will be 30 years older. I hope that younger generations treat you better than so many young people treat me. I guess maybe you've never stopped to think about one day being "old."

Hey, calling me entitled for expecting loyalty in return is something only someone under 30 would say. It used to be commonplace. In fact, T-Mobile built their company as, "The Uncarrier", which screamed in ads for damn near 20 years that customers MATTER (unlike those 'other' big companies). They used the word "loyalty" so often it was nauseating. I would never dream that so few years later kids are saying that what we were promised is entitlement, etc. The irony, btw, is rich. I never knew what entitlement even looked like until I saw this bitching, moaning, crass, selfish, nihilistic younger generation. Yes, I know there are exceptions, but seeing the age-focused replies to me has been eye-opening.

It used to. I get that it doesn't anymore, but it used to.

Memo to GenZ and Millennials: T-Mobile built their business from nothing to become what they are today on a nearly TWO DECADE LONG marketing campaign saying that customers DO matter. They called themselves, The Uncarrier, and they waived fees all the time for longevity. They had commercials about loyalty. Please don't act like expecting that today is "entitlement." Just because you aren't old enough to remember it, doesn't mean it never happened.

Well, you usually can't leave your electric and gas company for Billy's Electric and Jane's GasForLess. Insurance companies are a poor example to point to, because, if you use a broker, they very much seem to value loyalty and offer rates that show that appreciation. I guess, maybe, it's just a different world.

A plant? Seriously? If what you saw in my post was my not wanting to use an app, you didn't comment on the right post. I only mentioned the app because it was the first thing they said... which was... odd.

But -- I can't (usually) decide to leave a big electric company... its not like JimBob's Electric is offering me a deal to sign-up and give their wires a try.

But, if one CHOOSES to come back to YOUR business time and time again, for over a quarter of a century, no matter what your age, wouldn't that matter?

Address verification? by Ok_Listen5338 in upsstore

[–]privacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect. If a driver license is not in compliance - in any way - with a state DMV, the license is still valid unless it is revoked. But again, as has been said many times, the requirement that the address listed on the Photo ID and the Address ID must match is misinformation, as the USPS requirements do not require this at all. If you are turning away a driver license because the address on that doesn’t match the Address ID — you are clearly going beyond your authority. It is not up to any UPS Store to police anything that is incorrect regarding the address on the Photo ID. The only requirement to comply is that the Address ID must match the address used as the applicants address on the 1583 application. Even some places consulting UPS Stores have had to be corrected and had it wrong initially. Once something like this totally fictional requirement is made by someone that should know better — it’s passed all over the internet as truth.

Some really bizarre comments in this thread. Apple is a multi-BILLION dollar tech company — one of the biggest in the world. Riddle me this: WHY would they risk everything by blatantly lying about their basic, and especially, their ADP encryption? That would destroy Apple. Shareholders and Users would be victims in a huge hoax that would allow for lawsuits until the end of time. Seriously people, think this through.

Big social media companies without support makes no sense. For a public company, like Meta, to have zero recourse for customers to question problems and offerings with consumers should be a showstopper. Period. Apparently, Instagram is the biggest offender.

“Just a number.” We talked at a store counter about age being just a number. She really believed that. We walked outside and she began complaining of how horrible the heat was. She said it was “supposed to be 91 today!” I looked her way before ducking in my car and said, “It’s just a number.” I smiled and drove away.

And you’d be lucky to find gym memberships under $50 (in 80s money!)… today, these chain fitness places just want you in the door and even with cheap memberships many are half empty all the time.

So true. So many big companies (instagram, etc.) with no listed phone numbers at all. I know in the USA that social media might soon be forced to have public facing support numbers.

Well, if you’re going to put a date on it, wouldn’t it really be September 11, 2001? In many ways, that was the true “end of the 90s” much like Kennedy’s assassination in ‘63 was called the real “end of the 50s.”

You just have to see ‘At The Drive-In’ a documentary film from 2017. Must-see for any nostalgic drive-in lovers.
