Wrong. The training says not to scan ARS packages at pickup locations, just add to total pieces.
I don't honestly care what the training says. It takes me 1 second to scan an additional ARS package, so why not? I remember a story of where a customer had dropped off 2 Iphones @ a UPS store and the driver didn't scan them, and they were never heard from after that. So I will cover my butt if I am in a similar situation.

I was trained to scan end of days instead of all packages and to scan return service packages in special counts. There is no need to scan each and every package when there is an end of day. When picking up at a UPS Store I ask them for the amount of "drop offs" and add it to the number on the end of day instead of trying to tediously pick out each and every ARS/RS drop off to scan them under special counts. The UPS Stores (at least in my area) keep track of the drop offs and can pull it up on their computer when asked.
Only bonus babies seem to think its necessary to scan each and every package at a pickup when it's not even necessary. Thats what an end of day is for. Pickups that don't have end of days.....thats another story.

Or you can just run the EOD yourself?!?!? About half my customers don't have their EOD printed when I get there so I walk up to the computer with Worldship open and hit F11 and then ENTER. 3 second later a label prints out. Easy peasy.

I have lost count of how many times I have done this.
I also will tell customers who are still processing packages after I have finished loading all of their pickup pieces and don't need me to wait not to close it out until they are done and I would sign their EOD the next day.

Must be nice... Though it's not that big a deal. If I have a lot of send agains, that's a bit more pissful.

Nope. Haven't done our areas mall route yet, just something that'll happen on random areas I cover, & don't understand it one bit.

Are you not amused?
Ok, I must have special customers I have almost never seen a problem getting an end of day. But I still scan all airs and ARS packages.
Lol. Whatever you need to do to get home by 5. Printing people's EOD's and being too impatient to wait for them to finish.

I tried scanning a bar code tattoo on the back of someone's neck once when they weren't paying attention
We were instructed not to scan any packages at a regular pickup, only the EOD. I scan ARS picked up other than at regular pickups, and OCA pickup pieces. We do get a time allowance for scanning packages, IE is cutting out the allowance by reducing bonus, and reducing the paid day by eliminating the scans, saying they are duplicating effort made by inside people.

Say you have 50-100 (or more)----do you still each and every one?

Oh Yeah
Scan their end of day barcode and put it in your board with the numbers they have on their end of day. If they don't have an end of day I will scan every package, whether its 1 or 100 that way im not jipping myself of numbers and they are accounted for to cover your ass if any packages go missing. ARS packages have been explained to be put in board under special accounts.
