UPS worker kicks package on video

[upsbeernut]

He made national news

There goes the bean counters stock drop even though 1.2billion got put in the bank last week along with the 12 already there.

I guess this guy never heard of a hand cart. I would never lug something that large without a cart.

oh, BTW, if you have a heavy, oversized, certified funds, COD, leave it on car and go make sure the customer has the funds BEFORE you haul it in

Exactly. Especially if you parked right in front of the business. Pop right in and ask wether they have the check.

 

[alwaysoverallowed]

you mean Coloraydo???

Oh god I remeber seeing that for the first time I had to watch it 3xs before I could see the whole thing without laughing through it

 

[mixyo]

Oh the horror!!!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I don't imagine they give these things away.

 

[upsbeernut]

Oh the horror!!!

Apocalypse now!

Having absolutely no facts about the "incident", this is my guess- He didn't have a cart. He carried it (a large and heavy package) into the building. He waited longer than was appropriate for the stop. He became upset that he'd have to attempt it again the following day or that he just wasted his time. He proceeded as the video shows.

Good move? No.
Does it happen? Yes.

Small towns don't really have "news" unless a grown man exposes himself to small children or a van carrying a family crashes into an inferno. This is the result.

 

[upsbeernut]

I'll be surprised if he has a job tomorrow. He will be recognized as the good picker upper.

Taking your frustrations out on an inanimate object. Jackass.

had to click on it maybe 3 or 4 times, then it played...

 

[mjjlohn]

Honestly didn't look too bad he rolled it

 

[MC4YOU2]

"Roll, walk, or slide" large or bulky items. Just had some remedial training on this. He did nothing wrong. Now, I personally would have carted of that long of a distance but per policy he's following the methods.

UPS,
"Push, rather than pull"

Driver,
"Check!"

I also have a stop like this. Large cert check only cod's. Spendy glass "art" pipes you can smoke "tobacco" in. They never ever ever ever have the check. All I take in is a delivery notice already filled out and ready to hand off.
