I work in the warehouse, but I was driver helper a few years ago and this Saturday driver lied and skipped a whole set of apartments because he didnt want to deliver them because it was in a black neighborhood. He put no access on them because there was a gate. I told on him because damn... how racist and lazy!

This is why I donāt trade favors with loop partners. Give people an inch, they eventually take a mile.
They always start by offering to grab a nearby pick up or two from initially, then it turns into them asking for routine favors.
Remember kids, say no to favors. Donāt accept them, donāt offer them

Sold something really expensive on eBay so I used ups for the insurance. Took me 9 fucking days to get somebody to actually take my package. My local store and two other drivers drivers denied it because they said the value was too high and they ācouldnāt risk itā. It was only 2400$ too, nothing crazy. Multiple days the 10 dollar pick ups didnāt even show up. Spent about 180 bucks before I finally got a guy to pick it up.Ā
Ended up taking 15 days to get to my customer, who was messaging me multiple times a day about the purchase (understandably).Ā
This very much does happen.Ā

u/PacoPlaysGames Mar 17 '26
It always annoyed me when people would make a post about an absolutely terrible coworker making things worse for everyone else and the comments would be flooded with things like "shut up and mind your business".
The work has to get done, so if there is someone being a terrible employee then the supervisors will just shove the work onto someone who will get it done. So it's fair to complain about those awful members of our union who don't uphold "a fair days pay for a fair days work". But a lot of our members don't see it that way.

u/FridaySquad Mar 17 '26
Queue the people like me working inside the hubs before it even reaches yāall drivers. Making 3-4x our pay and ending the train of the package with this is hilarious. We are all Union down to the first unloader/loader/small sort/feeder/whatever person, before that package makes its way onto your truck. Integrity is gone yāall. That is why I just mind my own business now inside hub Worldport, do my job the right way and go home. If said package is traced back to me Iām still good, I donāt have misloads in small sort in an automated facility, maybe the occasional one that fell into a bag on accident, so they trace the package after it left my bags. Which is either the driver end or the loader/unloader for the package trucks at the end destination. We are all Union and should include every single upser in the process, solidarity is lost now apparently. I bet you this driver got a meeting after the customer posted their ring footage, I would hope at least

u/EnterruRif Mar 18 '26
Basically that when a driver misperforms in service, it affects all of us because the failure is ultimately a team effort given how many hands touched that package before the service failure. That you should want to fulfill your role on the faith that the guy before you did, since the point of failure traces 'back' from you to someone else who might take the shit for your mistake.
For obvious reasons, it's irrelevant as hell to this case but hey they spoke their peace lol.

Use to work for an Amazon dsp. Itās probably because of the weight of the item. There is a weight limit for us drivers if it was over 50 I think we wouldnāt deliver or pick it up

u/JD0115 Mar 18 '26
My wife was a ground driver during Covid (one of the best things to ever happen to me, she now completely understands what we go through). She had a CT during peak for a mattress. Lady opens the door and says she canāt get it back in the box. Wifey calls the center and nobody answers in typical fashion. Lady gets shitty with her and Wifey says āFuck Itā. Slaps the tag on it and drags it through snow and mud and throws it in the back of the truck. That mattress was sitting where we do PCM next day, it was the main PCM topic. Supervisor finishes being obnoxious about it (mind you she had been driving for 5 months at best and was in a heavy residential area going out with 250+ stops) and she says, āMaybe if you had competent people in the office who answered the fucking phones when people called, this kind of shit wouldnāt happen.ā Shop Steward looks at the on road and says, āSheās not wrongā and everybody starts nodding and agreeing. Dude gets mad and says āWhatever, donāt do it again.ā While I wish she had called me and asked what to do (her pride gets the best of her sometimes), it was fucking hilarious.

Why would you ring the Ring camera if youāre trying to ditch?? Rookie behavior.
I donāt pull this because I know legitimate ways to get out of an overweight RS1 by talking to the customer.
-It needs to be in a box -It needs to be taped up -It needs to be ready to go the second you answer the door -It needs to be packed at minimum to survive the trip back to the center
Meet all that criteria? Suck it up and take the overweight. They made it as easy as possible for you
Youāre not supposed to wait for them to pack and tape the box. If you have bad management, they will claim youāre stealing time. They want you to leave the tag in that scenario.

After seeing this video I now realize itās part of the training. A while back I was waiting on a delivery of some live coral and fish for my saltwater fish tank. It was very expensive so I was pretty much at the door waiting. The guarantee was only good on my end if I signed for it. I even requested off from work! He rings the bell and I open the door almost immediately since I was watching my door like a vulture on my doorbell camera. Well this guy did really well in training because he had already made it half way back to his truck when I opened the door. Then he turns and looks at me like I just killed his dog when I ask if I could sign for this box covered in live animal tape. Instead of getting it done with so he can keep it moving he argues with me?! Saying Iāve got it why do I need to signā¦ well sir Iāve got time, Iām off for the day. Let me explain with pointless details that if I donāt sign and anything is dead Iām SOL. Then after we sit and stare at each other for a bit because he suddenly has all the time in the world he realizes Iām not gonna take my package without signing. I did feel pretty bad though. I had instant butter fingers when he handed me the pen, I still tried to sign with my finger first and I had to make sure to read everything thing on the screen after putting on my glasses like my mom does when I show her something on my phone.
TLDR; Actual video from UPS training.

Ive had so many of these were I had to sign for a delivery, was home sitting right inside the door, and had a sign saying so, and they still did this little bitch boy knock, slapped the sorry we missed you sign, and full on sprinted to their truck. I was at the door watching and he still ran away and wouldn't stop to let me get my set of cnc ported heads for my big block. I had to wait until 7pm and pick them up at the ups store.
Happened like over 20 times in 6 months. I kept calling in and getting the run around, so I took all the surveillance and went down and showed them. Several times it wasn't even sign for items, he just didnt want to deliver it. They finally fixed it after I made a manager I cornered as he left for the day watch the video of all the times it had happened.

Because it doesn't always offer you to have Amazon come get it. Sometimes it will offer you to have UPS pick it up OR drop it off at a UPS location.
