That’s Craptacular
I've left a dollar tip at a restaurant once or twice...for really bad service. A rude waiter with a nasty attitude isn't going to get a good tip from me...I don't care how good the food is.

A small tip conveys your displeasure. Not like no tip which could indicate you merely forgot.

Exactly...I've tipped a driver once or twice over the years.
Management was bitching about one 9.5 driver being 2 hours over every day one week during this past summer peak. I'd only been loading for him for a few months. It culminated to an impromptu meeting in front of his truck at the end of the sort one day...driver, me, my center manager, his OC and the DM. Dispatch was horrible...he was going out with way too much work...and had filed 9.5 grievances. My center manager tried tossing me under the bus....suggesting it was due to my load. Driver responded that I'm the best loader he's had in years. He got a week's worth of free 7-11 coffee for that.

I see your point...but I've been here long enough to know...drivers don't forget.

That is what my loader doesn't understand. I don't expect a perfect load but the crap load she gives me is inexcusable. If she showed any indication of improvement or mutual respect she would have a new best friend. Instead with her crappy arrogant attitude I will throw her under the bus.

Agreed....there's no excuse for that. If a driver gives me an attitude...you'll get one back. If you come to me with an issue...and I can fix it, I will try. Custom load? Sure, no problem...tell me where you want it. We're all adults here.

There are some loaders (possibly even the majority) who just don't care because they know UPS needs people so badly that nothing will get done to them because of bad loads. A driver can try to explain things to them but they either ignore or get an attitude about criticism.
I started a new thread. Should you or shouldnt your tip your preloader. So that we dont overly derail,hows the view.

Could it be some don't care because they have been taught not to care by their preload management team. Heard many times by preload sups to just get it in the truck and the driver will fix it. They make $30+ an hour they might as well earn it. Most attitudes come from the sups and managers above them.

Spending the weekend doing some Halloween themed camping. The park is doing hayrides, a haunted house and site decoration contest. Here's our entry. That blue ribbon is mine, baby.

Does the winner get to pick where he/she sits during campground bingo?

It used to be a fun place but they started letting day campers come in and set up their tents in a field and it quickly got out of hand.

Nothing wrong with Bingo. Any entertainment that you can hold onto a beer with one hand and play the game with the other can't be all bad.
Gee, what happened to the VIEW thread??
