The entire world has lost their minds. I just took a box that measured approx. 12x6x6 to Fedex to ship it to Dutchman axles. It weighed about 7 pounds.
Fedex demanded a Government issued ID if i wanted to ship it. I took the package and headed to UPS instead. I walk in and didnt see anyone initially so i stood there waiting. Then i caught movement out the corner of my eye and the kid that was supposed to be working was across the room sitting on top of the counter with his feet up on the adjacent counter texting on his phone. I yelled across the room that i would like to ship this package and he gets up and comes over and points at 3 computers and says i have to enter all the information in the computer to create a tag for it. He then goes back across the room, hops back on the counter and puts his feet back up.
I stood there a minute in disbelief and i said.. "let me get this straight, im supposed to enter all of this info and do this work while you sit over there texting your with your friends?" He mumbled "its self service here".
I grabbed the package and headed back to Fedex and decided i would have to show my government issued ID just to ship a small package. Get this... i was quoted $190 if i want it there Monday, $175 for Tuesday, $137 dollars for Wednesday, or $30 for next Thursday.
