10 Things You Can Do To Not Piss Me Off…

… At work.

1. Do not show up with all the contents of your box in a bag and then expect me to not only find a box for you, but pack it as well.
2. Do read the signs. Especially the ones that ask for important information like an ID to go along with the credit card you are using. Or the one that says we are closed for maintenance. That way, you don’t have to get all pissy when I have to remind you. Reading is fundamental. Practice it a bit.
3. Do not question me about my knowledge and training when I, along with the computer, am telling you that it will take 10 days to deliver your item when you specifically chose and requested to send it the cheapest way possible.
4. Do not stand at the counter waiting for me to finish with the customer(s) who came in before you. Wait in line like everyone else. On the same note, don’t think it’s ok to come behind the counter to place items in the “out” bin. We have enough drop boxes around the office for you to use.
5. Do not change your mind 5 times about whether you do or don’t want insurance or any other additional service.
6. Do not hand me a credit card to pay for the one stamp you need. If you don’t have 41 cents in your pocket, or bottom of your purse or ashtray, then buy a whole damn book.
7. Do not reach over the counter and think you are helping me by adding your items to the scale. I am fully capable of grabbing the item myself and placing it on the scale when I am ready.
8. Do not get mad at me when you opt to not pay to have some kind of tracking service added to your items. Telling me “I will know when it gets there because they will call me” doesn’t impress me. It’s pretty hard for them to call you when they don’t receive it. As with all things in life, not everything goes as planned, so when you are getting ready to call to yell, or get in your car to let us know how Billy Bob never got his scarf, remember: You chose to be cheap. Not me.
9. Do not bring your four kids in with no shoes, snotty faces, dirty hands and bad attitudes and then allow them to scream and tear up the office. Additionally, when they choose to rearrange the items on the shelves and bins, it is YOUR job to put it back, not mine.
10. Do not show up without an address and expect me to know where to send it. (Yes, people really do this.) Our computers do not store your daughters information because you mailed from us before. Additionally, no, I won’t go to whitepages.com to find it for you.
