RandomHero, believe me that thought has crossed my mind more than once.

maybe there is more to the story that UPS isn't giving up? not many people like to accept responsibilty when things go wrong. What if the sorting facility got backed up, causing a late departure of the truck despite the driver being ready to leave, and the manager/supervisor would not authorize overtime for the driver to deliver ALL packages?

theoretically then, should the driver have to bear the consequences of a backup in sorting facility, etc?

anyway, its over now and i have let it go. like frick said "live and learn" .

is it ok to leave the crab in during the cycle? he will be easy to catch if i have too. ill try to describe him. he has red antannes (sp?) with black legs that have little blue spots on them. i tried to find a pic of him to ID, but couldnt find anything. thanks.

Im not disagreeing with you. If he was lazy he did wrong. Im just saying if that were the case, id be ****ed but Id turn the other cheek. Im not telling you to do that.

absolutely not, and i never would have brought the driver into it. im just going on what ups told me, because thats all i can do. were all human, we all make mistakes. if ups had told me for example, "hey were sorry but i guy in the warehouse missed scanning your package and it wasnt delivered on time". i would have understood, i might not have liked it, but would have understood. but to just say, " well he got behind yesterday and just didnt have time to make your delivery" she didnt come right out and say he screwed up, but she implied. i think thats why they made such an effort to find it this morning. and i will give ups credit for that, once i filed my complaint, they got right on it, and i had my rock within the hour. im sure ill see the ups guy soon, i have a fish tank after all lol, and ill talk to him, try to be friendly, maybe get to the top of the delivery list instead of last. you get more flies with honey than you do vinegar.

Indeed, or as Patrick Swaze would say; "Be nice until it is time to stop being nice."
