    Giant, cool printers for things like big banners or advertisements
    Tim C.

    Let me first start out by saying that this is a conflicted review. I've been to this store in the past, and although they can sometimes be rather slow, the service has always been good and I haven't really had any complaints. I realize that things can get busy, and sometimes we have to wait to be helped (yes, sometimes we are required to wait. looking at all of you millennials), but then there are instances that really shouldn't be happening. Based on the above, I will explain my issue. My home printer was acting up on me again, and because I needed to print out a bunch of documents, I made my way over to my friendly neighborhood UPS Store (the local library also allows you to do printing, but the quality blows and I believe it's also a few pennies more per page than UPS). As usual, there were people already in the store being helped, so I pulled out my trusty phone to kill some time. There were two employees working, a younger kid with a pony tail and facial jewelry, and an older woman who I always see working when I visit. She finished helping the gentleman in front of me, and so I stepped up when he left so that I too could be helped. This is when things went downhill. Instead of acknowledging me and providing assistance, she quickly turned around and went in the back as soon as the man in front of me left. She could have easily just said hello and then give me the, "I'll be right back" standard statement, but she did not. The cherry on top was when I heard her start talking on her cellphone whining about her daughters teacher and how stressed she is with trying to get her into college. I could go further, as she proceeded to gab for at least another 10 minutes while knowing full well that I was waiting, but I digress. It was obvious too that the young kid she works with is scared of her because he too made no effort to acknowledge me or call her out to help me. I don't have many pet peeves in life, but this is definitely one of them. In the end, the younger kid finally helped me as she continued to blab along. He was very nice and helpful, and even didn't charge me for additional printing I needed when I came back in 2 minutes later after leaving because I forgot I needed them. I really wanted to go 2 stars on this location because of her, but stuck with 3 when I had to go back the next day and was helped again by a different younger kid who was even nicer and more helpful than I previous one. Long story short, don't ignore your customers. I realize that we all have personal crap we need to take care of on the daily, but don't handle it by being impersonal and rude to your customers. Maybe she was having a bad day, totally acceptable, but try and remember that you're AT WORK, and your job is customer service.

    See all

    MaryAnn Skals, Store Manager - extremely courteous, professional and patient…read more Brenda, Customer Service - helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Provided options and associated costs. Overall, the service provided and interactions with Brenda and MaryAnn were professional, friendly and courteous. Very much appreciated!

    There are bad customer-service experiences. There are unfriendly employees. And then there are…read moreencounters that make you seriously wonder how someone came to occupy a customer-facing position in the first place--and, more importantly, why any company would allow that person to represent its name to the public. That is exactly what I experienced on Tuesday, August 18, at The UPS Store located at 805 E Bloomingdale Ave in Brandon. I arrived at 6:29 p.m., precisely at closing time, carrying two simple Amazon returns. I did not need assistance, I was not making a purchase, and I was not asking anyone to begin a complicated transaction. I simply had two packages to drop off. The employee inside saw me approaching. And shut the door in my face. Literally. That is neither a figure of speech nor an exaggeration born of frustration. He saw me approaching the entrance and closed the door directly in front of me. He later opened it for another customer and, without even looking me in the eye, simply said that they were closed. No "I'm sorry." No "Good evening." No "What did you need?" Not even the most basic gesture of acknowledging that another human being was standing in front of him. I understand perfectly well what closing time means. I have worked in customer service for years, and I currently hold management responsibilities myself. That is precisely why I know the difference between enforcing business hours and behaving with a level of hostility and unprofessionalism that is simply incompatible with a customer-facing position. He could have told me that he was unable to accept the packages. He could have explained that the system had already been closed. He could simply have said, "I'm very sorry, sir, but we've just closed." Five seconds would have been enough. Instead, he chose to shut a door in a customer's face. And I use the word "chose" deliberately, because that is exactly what happened. Closing time belongs to store policy. Rudeness belongs to the individual. But when that individual is standing behind a counter, inside a store displaying a corporate name, dealing, or refusing to deal, with the people who come to its door, he is no longer representing only himself. He is representing The UPS Store. That is where the real seriousness of this incident lies. Large companies spend fortunes building a brand. They speak of trust, professionalism, service, community, and customer experience. They create manuals, train employees, develop advertising campaigns, and spend decades protecting their reputations. And it takes only one person behind one door to make all of that rhetoric meaningless. Because a brand is not what a company says about itself. A brand is what a customer experiences when no executive is watching. I do not know who hired this employee. I do not know who trained him. I do not know who supervises his performance. Nor do I know whether the behavior I witnessed was an exception or a pattern. But I do know this: if someone believes it is acceptable to deliberately shut a door in a customer's face, refuse even to make eye contact, and fail to offer five seconds of basic courtesy, then the management of this location should be asking itself a very serious question: Is this truly the person we want representing our name to the public? I manage people. I know that employees make mistakes. I know that people have bad days. I also know that no employee should be expected to remain at work indefinitely after the end of a shift. But I also know that there is an enormous difference between making a mistake and revealing an attitude. What I witnessed that evening was not a problem with a package. It was not a problem with Amazon. It was not even really a problem with closing time. It was a problem of attitude, judgment, basic courtesy, and an understanding of what it means to hold a customer-facing position. I can take two packages somewhere else. I can take my business there, too. And perhaps that is the point that should concern those responsible for this location most of all: If the person standing at the door makes the customer want to walk away and never return, then the problem is not on the side of the door that was closed. It is on the side of the person who chose to close it that way.
