<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 2152897, member: 10103"]Sure we knew what was in some of them. I mean, like, the return label reads 'Berger Bros. Camera' so ya knows there's got to be some sort of electronics or camera equipment inside, right? Sometimes customers would tell you what they were receiving and if you delivered to an industrial or shopping district, you almost always knew what was inside the packages. And I could care less what was inside. What was first and foremost in my mind was emptying a delivery van containing upward of 300 packages and 120 stops and getting my butt home safely to my family. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will say this.......UPS takes a dim view toward thievery and those that do it are eventually rooted out and dealt with. It doesn't matter how much the value of the item being pilfered is, the result is always the same......you're fired. We had a mechanic who was smuggling oil out in his thermos bottle.....he got the boot. There was a supervisor who was stealing watches. Had a good number of years with the company. He got the boot. Had a group of night loaders stealing rifles. ATF got involved. I think they did some jail time. It's a real temptation for some folks to stick their hand in the cookie jar (where it don't belong) but they all get caught. Eventually. Sorry you guys are having so much trouble with the hired help but I can assure you that most of the people that deliver to your homes (FDX, UPS, USPS) are good hardworking honest people that value their jobs as well as their salaries. Oh, and if they were anything like me, they also loved their customers too.........well, most of them anyway. Some customers were difficult to deal with, but I rolled with it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
