but the tings being said about ups as a whole I dont know why I care, upset me...
Tooner I am really sorry you had to deal with this idiot. In my life outside of UPS I umpire youth, high school and adult softball. I've officiated sports since I was a kid, it's something I really enjoy but I've certainly had the opportunity to watch far too many people go over the top bringing out the a-hole.
Of course, when your the umpire you can simply toss these kind of creeps out the game! As others have said I totally think you should do the next best thing: never visit this address again.
It's very sad that your center manager isn't bothering to even call you back. Hopefully your local will support you. I would write down a very detailed account of your encounter with this jerk wad complete with as many direct quotes of his verbal abuse and spitting (!!) on you. Provide this to management and the union. Either another driver will have to go to this location or everything goes to will call. But no way should you be expected to have anything to do with this address ever again.
As to why things he said about our company bother you.. I believe at the end of the day no matter how much the cubical dwellers try to friend it up people like you and me and many many others (yes even including some management!) value our company and our customers. We feel like we are more than just hired hands, we ARE the business. So an insult against our business is an insult against us.
Tomorrow, try not to fixate on this fool. I feel certain you have many customers who appreciate what you do for them and over the years have had many very positive experiences with grateful customers. This is a good time to reflect back on those people and forget this piece of work.
We had a similar incident with a guy who is one of those tool distributors out of his mobile tool store on wheels I'm sure you know the type. Peak season a year ago something went down involving a seasonal driver. Now, none of us set foot on the guys property. He was having to drive into the city to our center 40 miles each way to get his 10-25 boxes every other day. Finally he made a deal with a mechanic near his home to be a drop point for his stuff. Hopefully something like that happens in your center.
I hope your Friday goes well and you have a great weekend. Let us know what happens with deliveries to this location in the future.
