On my old route, when I would park on the road, on my way to the front door I would also trap the newspaper off the driveway and take it up to the front porch with the package. One day I had a customer told me, "A bunch of us in the neighborhood noticed that you bring our papers up to the house and were curious why." I told her, "because a newspaper in the driveway tells a would be criminal that you are not home. Especially if there are a couple there. It tells me you are on vacation and no one is taking care of that for you. I'm just doing my part to keep things safe around here. No big deal. I walk by it anyway, so why not pick it up." I got many thank you's following that. It really was no big deal.

For the record, this thread is (was) about making a stop your last due to them having wronged you in some way. The fact that some drivers actually sulk at the level of a tip, or no tip at all is literally jaw dropping to me.
I'm on board if a customer is a
bag, heck yeah, talk bad about them and deliver to them last but as for a customer who is average or even above, treat them with the same respect you would want your FedEx guy to give you when he delivers to your house on a Saturday while you're outside working. C'mon people!

I know what you're saying I would do the same. Just for someone to bitch to that extent for not getting a tip is just ridicules.

I have a place that every year gives me a large tin of nuts. One year after the economy tanked, the owner of the business came up to me and sadly told me that while he still appreciated my efforts he was unable to give me a gift that year. I assured him that I understood and in no way took any offense because I had seen their pick up volume drop and knew they were having tough times. The next year things picked up and again I was presented with the nuts. I thanked him and told him that I was so happy because these nuts were a sign thingsnwere turning around.
I have had customers gift me one year and not the next but it never occurs to me to be spiteful. We deal with petty and small people daily so I refuse to stoop to their level. I take any gift, no matter how large or small, and thank the customer.

Had the same thing happen to me. A customer always gave me 50 bucks for Christmas, one year he didnt give me anything. The following Christmas he gave me a 100 bucks and a goddie basket. I said this is too much money. he said I felt bad about last year........then he went on to explain that the previous year wasn't a financially good one for him.

This sentence made me giggle. Both because I play poker and I have the mentality of a 12 year old sometimes. Bwahahaha.
So, tell us.........how did his nuts taste in your mouth?

I don't know. When I get them home my wife always goes after my nuts.

I know it's my job hero. I had a smile on my face every day when she was berating me. I still treat everyone regardless of their demeanor the same. I don't have to "like" it, and can vent whenever the friend I want. 'Murica bro. I'd rather deal with her bitching than some of the stupid comments I've read [here]. Everyone's a typical armchair quarterback. I'm sure you'd be all warm and fuzzy inside towards a customer that did nothing but crap all over you every time you had to deal with them in person. *slow clap for you hero*

Be honest. You seem to be a bad situation waiting to happen.

In what way? Retired Vet that left with an impeccable record. Zero disciplinary incidents, or Article 15's. 20+ years driving for UPS with a pretty slim Pittsburgh folder, albeit a few minor hiccups along the way, like failure to shave a few times etc. I'm the farthest thing from a "situation waiting to happen". I say what's on my mind off the clock. Aside from just making random assumptions about people on the Internet, is there anything you do [here] that's actually useful besides making stupid insinuations?

No, you just constantly come across like a dick. We get it. You need attention. I "whine" about not getting a tip. Right. You got me hero. You're too clever a foe.

Every story you share with us is a confrontation with someone. I've been driving 25 years and don't have one bad story to share. It's not that complicated to drop off boxes.
