Brown Saved Me Money
I have used this blog before to slag off companies that pissed me off, so here’s my chance to earn some karma points back. Big props to UPS; or, in particular, one driver.
I actually have a postal box with a UPS store, which I inherited from Mailboxes Etc. when UPS acquired them. I had just come from checking my mailbox (for a bunch of t-shirts from T-Shirt Hell, which I’m still waiting for). But that was just a coincidence.
I had just finished a six-mile run (yes, I know, I’m a stud; I was carrying a medicine ball, no less). Before I left, I had put a $20 bill in my fanny pack (okay, I’m not that much of a stud, but I don’t know how else to carry keys and stuff when I run). I must have fumbled with the stuff in the pouch at some point, which included my portable radio, but the only time I can think of doing so was when I started my run.
Aaaaanyway, as I was leaving the UPS store, a UPS truck drove by and the driver caught my attention despite my earphones (”All Things Considered”) and pointed out that my $20 was dangling from the back of my fanny pack strap. I can’t figure out how I ran six miles (with a medicine ball, no less) with a $20 dangling on the strap, but there you go.
Thanks UPS! I really believe your commercials now!
