UPS stores are individually owned. Up to owner what to charge for. When The UPS

first came out, I knew this retired couple that bought one. They'd charge for everything, including .25 cents for a piece of tape. They ended up going out of business. I've know other owners who don't charge for tape. Sound like you got an owner who wants to be paid for everything!

I went to the UPS store to return a ceiling fan to Amazon

Did Amazon tell you you didn’t have to box it?

Jun 15, 12:28pm

These are the instructions:

I probably wouldn’t brag to an Internet group about refusing to be

There are different instructions. Sometimes it says UPS will pack and ship it for you. Sometimes not.

If you act pleasant and ask, they’ll let you tape up your box for free.

Superkid

Not in this case.

DirtyWater

He said act pleasant

Yeah our UPS store is chill and does it for us

Why is it UPS Store's responsibility to provide your packing tape?

astroman

Jun 15, 12:28pm

Because that is their agreement with Amazon

It's not though. Not when the instructions specifically tell you to pack it yourself. You have to read the instructions

That guy does not get paid enough to deal with your problems.

AfterShocks

Sounds like he gets paid enough to create unnecessary ones though.

Jun 15, 12:34pm

That sounds like socializing the problem…

Jun 15, 12:39pm

Exactly, then don’t throw it away.

Jun 15, 12:40pm

What?

Online persona matches IRL persona. Interesting!

Superkid

Definitely not surprised this happened. And those approving his actions are cut

Jun 15, 3:54pm

I’ve never been charged to tape something

maxpowers

Sounds like he ran into a pretty bad employee.

Jun 15, 12:41pm

lol… you’re the only one excusing trashy human behavior

Jun 15, 12:42pm

I count 7 fairly obnoxious posts by you in this thread so far.

Yes you’re the one being harassed today

I suspect it wasn't about the tape.

That's probably not going to work out well for you.

He won’t be paying for it. Either Amazon or the UPS store will if they chuck it.

Jun 15, 12:42pm

Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should do it…

Jun 15, 12:43pm

He was trying to be helpful. Amazon shipped him an incorrect item. If

If he doesn’t have a receipt from UPS showing he dropped it off, he’s not getting a refund

Mike Honcho

Jun 15, 1:14pm

This. Amazon won’t refund his money. I guess it was worth not buying $6 tape.

If I had to guess I would think

Good point.

Nobody asked you to guess. But you did anyway.

Well I’m sorry for assuming the worst. Good on you for refusing the refund for

I didn't like any of the options being presented.

DirtyWater

Amazon won’t fight that fight.

Jun 15, 4:34pm

Way to stick it to the underpaid kid just following directions. You’re the Caesar Chavez of returning Amazon orders.

SpecialT

Jun 15, 12:49pm

That “underpaid” kid is likely getting $20 hr for that incredibly easy job.

Millhouse

I hope you’re not insinuating that entitles someone else to treat him poorly.

SpecialT

The kid asked for money and the op turned and walked out… it may take years of

Millhouse

Jun 15, 7:16pm

The OP was a jerk and left a mess for the employee to clean up.

Jun 15, 7:34pm

You were willing to risk Amazon not giving you the refund

When you’re raging at service employees, common sense does not play a part.

Superkid

Sometimes if you’re running late to AlphaCon you don’t have time to tape boxes.
