A rant for the betterment of my mental health.

[apocalypsos]

What the hell is wrong with people? No, seriously, I want to know. I had a steady stream of customers come in here from 6 o'clock on, and all of the ones who wanted to pick up packages said they had gotten phone message saying they had a package here to be picked up but didn't bother to bring the tracking number with them. I'm sorry, but what exactly do these people think we mean when we say they need to refer to a tracking number when they call or come to the station? And we do. We're required to say both the tracking number and the customer service number when we call.

Do they think we're leaving both numbers just for the hell of it to see if they'll actually fall for our nefarious trick and call the phone number? Because really, if we were going to try to make them do party tricks over the phone, don't they think we'd be a little more creative?

"If you want your package, please come to your local office wearing a bunny costume with a squid on your head and sing the theme song to 'The Wuzzles'."

"To get your package, please appear on the local news naked and dancing in the Reflecting Pool while throwing little pickles at passersby."

"If you'd like to acquire your misdelivered parcel, please invent time travel, go back to the mid-ninetites, and help a poor, painfully cute aspiring writer just graduating from high school win an incredibly large lottery jackpot."

Really, people, is that too much to ask?!
