Yeah but I've never heard of someone threaten to shoot someone. Kick their ass yeah(and they were banned, but yet we still deliver to them) but shot no.

I had some old lady say she would shoot us.

If I had a customer who had threatened to shoot a UPS driver I would make an exception to the no management doing union work rule and tell them to deliver the friggin thing. I did have a crazy old lady on my route who nobody but me would deliver to. Every time I went on vacation if she got something during that week it would be waiting for me to deliver. I used to love having something for her when I had a rider because she would give them total hell while I just laughed. for some reason she and I got along great. I think it was because I made time to listen to her crazy stories.

In your scenario the threat was directed at you and you have every right to report this threat to the authorities.

I'd tell your boss to Go Find Yourself and you're not delivering to that customer, ever.
I'd be shocked if UPS can legally force you to deliver there after the customer threatened to kill "you" the UPS employee.
Also kind of embarrassing UPS would risk losing a 30 yr employee over one minor customer.

Are you seriously standing by this?
You sound like management and the way they can't ever admit they are wrong. Orion works great !!!
What is your story? I am really curious how your perception can be so different from mine.

Yeah I just got here in 1986. The bottom line is this thread was basically rhetorical.
They won't be making me do anything I don't feel comfortable doing, I just wanted to know what other people's opinions were if they were placed in a similar situation.
Exactly.

The "consultation" would consist of me informing management that I will not set foot on that property ever again, no ifs ands or buts.
A person who threatens to murder someone needs to be reported to police. Even if the police cant take any action at that time it establishes a record that could be useful if the person continues to make threats or, God forbid, ever follows through on one.
Yup, well said. The company does not look out for us. Just because you're on the clock does not mean you're not responsible for your personal safety. Yeah lifting and lowering and look sharp, don't get cut and all that crap is nice but in the real world there's more than that

Boy some of you drivers are wussies I'd use the p form of that word but I can't. Let a customer come and try to fight me. I'd be glad to break their nose and take all their things in court. Man up! Most of the drivers I know are tough guys some loser who stays at home all day ain't got nothing on a real 10 hour a day blue collar working man

Maybe it is different here, but here, security will fire you pretty quick if they find cause, but would not send you somewhere they thought could be dangerous for you to go.
I would have only a little apprehension about going there the first time, but if you feel you are in danger, then don't go.

What? I am pretty sure I could kick this nut job's ass. That isn't the point.
Do any of you know people who have been shot and killed. I do.
I have actually testified at a couple of murder trials.
Are you saying we go and beat or kill problem delivery consignees?
Or just don't deliver to them?
